Answer:
They created an alliance with other nations.
Explanation:
The correct answer is: President Hoover believed that the government should respond to the Great Depression <u>by pursuing new programs to help citizens.</u>
The Great Depression caused the collapse of the American economy, and poverty increased.
Hoover tried to deal with this economic downturn by launching several programs to help the people, namely: A work program where he developed large public works such as the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and he signed The Smoot-Hawley Act -the Tariff Act- which had the purpose of protecting the U.S. trade and the farmer's rights, that were highly affected by the Great Depression. The law increased 900 import tariffs on foreign agricultural by an average of nearly 50 percent.
The 31st president also increased federal subsidies for agriculture and approved the Glass-Steagall Act, which limited the activities of commercial banks in an attempt to stabilize the banking sector.
Clovis was the son of the pagan Frankish king Childeric and the Thuringian queen Basina. He succeeded his father in 481 as the ruler of the Salian Franks and other Frankish groups around Tournai (now in Belgium). Although the chronology of his reign is imprecise, it is certain that by the time of his death in 511 he had consolidated the Franks and expanded his influence and rule to include the Roman province of Belgica Secunda in 486 and the territories of the Alemanni (in 496), the Burgundians (in 500), and the Visigoths (in 507). Clovis’s kingdom began in the region encompassing modern Belgium and northeastern France, expanded south and west, and became the most powerful in Gaul. He was the most important Western ally of the Byzantine emperor Anastasius I. The Pactus Legis Salicae (Law of the Salian Franks), a written code combining customary law, Roman written law, Christian ideals, and royal edicts, likely originated during Clovis’s reign and had a long history of emendation and influence. Clovis married the Catholic Burgundian princess Clotilda and had five children with her. A son, Theuderic, was born prior to the marriage; his mother is unknown.
Clovis, like his father, dealt politically and diplomatically with the Catholic bishops of Gaul. These powerful figures had no qualms about working with Germanic kings, as a letter to Clovis from Bishop Remigius of Reims, written early in the king’s reign, makes clear. The bishops saw themselves as the king’s natural advisers, and, even before his conversion to Catholic Christianity and his baptism at Reims (now in France) by Remigius, Clovis apparently recognized their rights and protected their property. In a letter written to Clovis at the time of his baptism, Avitus of Vienne (now in France) praises his faith, humility, and mercy. Significantly, in the year of his death, Clovis summoned the bishops to a church council at Orléans.
Sharecropping can be considered a legalized form of slavery because it contained many of the same elements.
Sharecropping is a system in which a landlord rents a plot of land to a tenant. During this era, the land would be owned by a white plantation owner (most of the time) and the person renting the land would be a former slave. This tenant would then be responsible for producing as much product as possible in order to give their payment to the land owner. This is similar to slavery, as the plantation owner benefits from another person's hard work.
Since the survival of the tenant depends on how well they farm, they are less likely to leave the land. This is similar to slavery, as leaving leaving a plantation greatly decreased a slaves chance of survival.
