The Depression was one of the most turbulent times that the USA and its citizens have had to face in their history. In order to raise investor confidence in such turbulent times, Congress passed some laws namely the Securities Act of 1933. These laws were based on two common sense notions. Firstly, transparency regarding the business, securities being sold by the business and the risk associated with the securities must be present for the company's public offering securities. The second notion of common interest revolves around the fair and honest treatment of investors by sellers and traders of securities and they should always put investor interests first (SEC.gov | What We Do, 2019).

The creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission was done in one of the most turbulent time in the history of the USA. Investors were freely losing money with no hopes of getting any return on their investments.

To serve as the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt chose Joseph P. Kennedy, whose son John F.
