Answer and Explanation:

President Hoover initially responded to the challenges of the Great Depression by telling Americans to remain strong, and requesting that organizations and businesses do whatever they can to keep workers employed. In attempt to inspire Americans, he wrongly predicted that the worst conditions would never be experienced, and that it would be foolish for anyone to lack confidence in the country’s economy which was failing at the time.

Much later, deep into the Great Depression, President Hoover responded a bit better by giving jobs to unemployed workers, raising prices of crops produced by farmers, providing loans for banks that were failing, and assisting troubled local and state charity organizations with aid.

Unfortunately, his responses which could only help a few people, were not strong enough to keep the country’s economy from plummeting and becoming greatly depressed.

<span>Hoover's response was to keep a balanced federal budget until taxes collapsed because of the depression, making the government insolvent. Any increase in spending was incremental and not beneficial to the industries that had lost business or the people that lost jobs. His dogged reliance on balanced budgets turned a hiccup in the financial markets in 1929 into a huge national depression by 1932.</span>

Lina20 [59]

We can consider some of these factors
Human population – each community is composed of different and varied individuals or group of individuals. Without the human population there would be no society as a whole.
Resources – natural or man-made. These resources help the society and community function effectively and efficiently. Primary needs are the fundamental resources every community has to have in order to survive and follows other various equipment they use to make gather and develop goods.
Government – Without the state of order and peace. Without law and governance there would be chaos. Anarchy could be also a form of government, this word is mostly mistaken. Going back to government, what matters here is the would be a body who can lead the people or the people to lead themselves.
