<u>Answer:</u>

<em>C. many people believed Hoover did not do enough to improve the economy during the Great Depression </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The banks underwent bankruptcy, the stock market went down.

Lack of funds affected the industries and led to unemployment.

The central government proved ineffective.

The help provided by President Hoover was too little and too late.

The unemployed were forced out of their homes and moved to shanty towns built on the borders of big cities.

<em>These shanty towns were named as Hoovervilles. </em>

The correct answer is many people believed Hoover did not do enough to improve the economy during the Great Depression.


During the Great Depression, Hoover was convinced that the American economy would fix itself. This was due to Hoover's belief in laissez faire economics. Hoover believed that the economy worked best when the government was not involved.


With these beliefs in mind, he took very few concrete steps towards trying to solve this crisis. As people continued to struggle and lose their homes, they built shanty towns out of whatever they could find. These towns became known as Hoovervilles as a way to place blame for America's tough economic times.

The quality of life in the Roman Empire depended upon where one fell within society.

During the Pax Romana, the wealthy built huge, lavishly decorated houses and usually had servants or slaves to tend to their every need. The average citizen worked hard and lived reasonably comfortably in modest housing. Despite the riches of the Roman Empire, the largest class lived in what can only be described as poverty.

Children in Rome
Roman children wore pendants called bullas, from the Latin word for "bubble," around their necks. The wealthy wore bullas made of gold, while a typical plebeian bulla was leather.
Roman family life was a patriarchy — that is, the oldest male wielded considerable power over the rest of the family. The patriarch made all of the major decisions for the family.
