An American who believes that government should not get involved in the economy, but should restrict social choices, is most likely to be a "conservative" although of course there are exceptions.
This person is more likely to be a conservative, or to support the Republican party. Conservatives tend to emphasize the role of government in regulating social behaviour. They often care about the preservation of traditional values. On the other hand, they do not believe the government should be involved in the economy, and they tend to defend the importance of personal responsibility.
Americans hated President Hoover. They believed that he was the source of all of their misfortune. To top off their hatred, Hoover refused to get the government involved in kickstarting the economy.
