The Federal Securities Act of 1933 (FSA) and the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1934 played pivotal roles in transforming securities regulation in the United States. The FSA aimed to restore confidence in banks and ensure accurate information disclosure to consumers and investors without increasing federal spending. In contrast, the SEC was established to enforce securities laws, increase federal oversight, and regulate business practices effectively. Together, these acts promoted transparency, informed consumers, and influenced the securities market's structure.
