Members of the American Liberty League opposed the New Deal primarily because they believed it expanded government power at the expense of individual freedoms and free enterprise. They argued that the New Deal's policies, including increased regulation and social welfare programs, undermined capitalism and the rights of businesses. Additionally, they viewed the initiatives as a shift towards socialism, fearing that it would lead to excessive government intervention in the economy. Overall, they championed a return to what they considered traditional American values of limited government and personal responsibility.
