The Hundred Days refers to the early period of Roosevelt's presidency when Congress passed a flurry of measures. When did this period occur?

• A. 9 March 1933 to 16 June 1933
• B. 1 January 1933 to 31 December 1933
• C. 1932 to 1933
• D. 10 May 1933 to 10 September 1933

Answer: (A)

The period known as the Hundred Days is the initial burst of activity as Franklin D. Roosevelt took office and Congress moved quickly to push through New Deal reforms. It lasted from 9 March 1933 to 16 June 1933. This timeframe comes from the start of Congress’s special session and its rapid passage of key measures aimed at stabilizing banks, creating relief programs, and beginning recovery. The dates fit the historical definition precisely: a defined stretch in early 1933, not the whole year or a later window. The other options mix in the wrong years or extend beyond the actual start and end of that intense legislative push.
