Answer:
The correct answers are C, <em>calling for immediate federal funding to support financial institutions troubled by bank runs</em> and D, <em>creating a series of federal programs to provide employment on public works</em>.
Explanation:
Republican President Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) firmly believed the government should not intervene in the economic field. Because of this his administration only actively fought the economical crisis in early 1932, when unemployment was around 23%.
During that year Hoover's administration got Congress to approve the creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), an institution to financially support states' governments and financial institutions. RFC saved a few banks but not enough to ease the crisis.
In mid-1932 Hoover signed the Emergency Relief and Construction Act that liberated public funds for public works to provide employment.
Options A, B and E are wrong:
When the government worked on the housing field for low-income individuals it was not through tax cuts; (A)
it did not urge private agencies to organize relief efforts, only to not cut wages during the beginning of the crisis; (B)
on the contrary, Hoover established a moratorium on foreign debts related to World War I (1914-1918) to stop the European crisis caused by the American crisis aiming to help both economies. (E)
Currency . Even thought it had just 8 letters is the right answer.
Answer:
The ideas of the Enlightenment influenced American colonists like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson because they read the works of Enlightenment thinkers and adopted similar views on politics and society. Political philosophers of the Enlightenment believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate in order to create the most beneficial conditions for society. This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. The Enlightenment ideal was that individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all would be promoted and protected. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged. The American founding fathers accepted these Enlightenment views and acted on them.
Further detail / example:
John Locke, in his Second Treatise on Civil Government (1690), had expressed the idea of natural rights in the words that follow. Notice the similarities to what was later stated in the American colonists' <em>Declaration of Independence</em> (1776).
- <em>The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.</em>
