Before he died in office in 1945, he also governed a country facing the greatest military threat to its existence ever - World War II. He served longer as president than anyone before or since and led the country through its two gravest challenges in the twentieth century. No wonder then that polls of historians and political scientists over the last sixty years have always produced the same results.

For all his famous informality of manner, he was perhaps the most regal leader the United States has ever had, revelling in the exercise of executive power.

He pursued a vision of social justice, and of restraint upon the unbridled capitalism of America's previous century, which was perceived as revolutionary, although he never addressed the great evil of racial segregation.

President Franklin Roosevelt explained the need for the New Deal this way in his 1932 address to the Democratic National Convention: "While [Republicans] prate of economic laws, men and women are starving.

We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings. " That's not so different from the sentiment behind modern-day calls for action, like Rep.
