How did the government of the United States react to the Great Depression?

History
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
6 0
The last statement is correct.

When the Great Depression hit, Herbert Hoover was president. As an advocate of laissez faire economics, he felt that having the government interfere with the economy would have negative results. Hoover does create a few public works projects (like the Hoover Dam) in order to decrease unemployment but these programs are short lived. Overall, Hoover is remembered negatively by the American public, as he did not do enough to help America during this time.

This is why when he ran for re-election he lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Once in office, FDR implemented the "New Deal." This economic program was based around creating government agencies that would help decrease unemployment and improve American society in general. Along with this, FDR set up market regulations (like the Securities and Exchange Commission) to ensure that there is never another crash in wall street like the one in 1929.

4. The number of senators would increase only if ?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The right answer is:

1 If another state joined the United States.

Explanation:

There are debates even today , as there were in the late 18th century, on the size, composition and other crucial issues relating to the Senate. The US Constitution says simply that "the Senate shall be composed of two senators from each state." If for example, Puerto Rico decided to join the Union as the 51st state of the USA, then the Senate would have to be enlarged with two senators who´d represent Puerto Rico. But of course, if there was a bipartisan agreement, there could be an amendment to increase the number of senators, too.
