(A) Fair Deal

(B) Great Society

(C) New Deal

(D) New Frontier

(E) Square Deal

The correct answer is A. President Harry Truman's domestic program was called the Fair Deal. The Fair Deal was the ambitious set of proposals put by Truman to Congress in January 1949, and more generally the term characterizes the whole domestic agenda of Truman's Administration from 1945 to 1953. It offered new proposals to continue New Deal liberalism, but with the Conservative Coalition controlling Congress, only a few of its major initiatives became law and then only if they had considerable GOP support.
