Under Franklin Roosevelt the nation turned to a new definition of the government's relationship with the people. This relation encouraged the building of a strong state by regulating capitalism, but not telling people how to live their personal lives?

Under Franklin Roosevelt, the American Government became more involved in the regulation of the economy, drawing inspiration mainly from the ideas of John Maynard Keynes, which are known as keynesian economics.

This ideas hold that capitalism is the most efficient economic system, and that liberal democracy is the most desirable political system. However, capitalism itself has to be regulated by the state, and the government must intervene to prevent economic crisis, or to aid in the recuperation from one.

Neither Roosevelt nor Keynes were in favor of government control over people's personal lives, which is not a characteristic of democracy, but of authoritarian and/or totalitarian regimes such as Nazi Germany or Stalin's Soviet Union.

swe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. — that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
