Social Security History

The history of Social Security, a favorite political topic during Presidential campaigns, is captured on the outstanding government web site of the Social Security Administration (SSA). A great resource for law students and researchers, the site's Social Security History page includes an overview of how the program developed, the text of the original Social Security Act, legislative history documents, and reports and studies, together with speeches and articles representing early public opinion about the controversial program. The user friendly page also highlights the history and organization of the SSA.
