During his presidency, Franklin D. Roosevelt set several key precedents, including the establishment of the modern welfare state through the New Deal programs, which expanded the federal government's role in the economy and social welfare. He also established the practice of using the media effectively to communicate directly with the public through "fireside chats." Additionally, Roosevelt's decision to serve four terms led to the ratification of the 22nd Amendment, which limited future presidents to two terms in office.
