1. The Great Depression cause companies to dropout and threaten the democracy.
2. Did economic bad times in the Great Depression cause companies to dropout and threaten the democracy?
3. I chose the topic because people can know that how the companies and democracy was affected by the Great Depression.
4. In this investigation I found three different sources that I sought for information.
a The % of banks during 1929 and 1933
b The % of increased of lower classes population in 1929 and 1939
c Products that companies made during 1929 to 1939
B. Summary of evidence
1. Sources for investigation
a In 1929, there were 25,568 banks than were in operation. In 1933, the number of banks had dropped from 25,568 to 14,771. The Great Depression had a huge effect to many banks.
b During the Great Depression the lower class rate in America became the highest in the nation's history, and the unemployment at nearly 25 percent during the 1930s.(increased lower class population)
c During the Great Depression, the producing rate of production had decreased, so it shows that some companies had dropout.

C. Evaluation of Sources
1. the producing rate of production had decreased
2. OPVL
a Origin of the great depression was cause by the overproduction of the companies.
b Purpose for this investigation is to help people understand how the companies and people were affetced during the Great Depression.
c Valu of this investigation is that people will learn not to overproduce different product, otherwise the Great Deoression will occur again.
d Limitation of this investigation is that the charts for each fact can not show the exact statistic for every single question.
D. Analysis
1. Banks are the pumping stations or hearts of the capitalist organism. If the banks were closed, there won’t be enough money for companies to borrow and investigate more products.
The Depression's impact on the economy
1929 1933
Banks in operation 25,568 14,771
Prime interest rate 5.03% 0.63%
Volume of stocks sold (NYSE) 1.1 B 0.65 B
Privately earned income $45.5B $23.9B
Personal and corporate savings $15.3B $2.3B
The chart below shows the production rate. It went from really high to extremely low. In the other way, it has shows that the companies during the great depression had a huge affect during that time.
The chart below shows the unemployment rate during the great depression had rose to 25 % (the highest) However, the more people were unemployed the more people who were live in lower class.
2. Some facts in part B are not enough to provide a complete and final answer to my question because I can not find the exact statistic for those answers. On the other hand, some of the facts are useful. These facts tell some detail of the investigation, which people are questioned. It leads people to understand more how the companies and people were affected by the Great Depression. Also, I use chart to represent each fact that will help us easily understand what it is talking about.
3. These facts from Part B may be open to different interpretations. For example, the unemployment rate had risen because the companies were dropping out, so they had to fire people.
