The Securities Act of 27 May 1933, signed by President Roosevelt as part of the First New Deal, required disclosure for primary issuance of securities through registration statements containing prospectus information filed with the Federal Trade Commission (later the SEC after 1934), with anti-fraud liability for issuers, underwriters, and signatories. The intended effect was to protect investors after the 1929 crash had revealed widespread issuance fraud, restore capital-market confidence, and establish the federal-disclosure regime that complemented the Securities Exchange Act 1934's secondary-market provisions — together forming the foundation of modern US securities regulation.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
