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)
Article one of the U.S Constitution aims to establish everything regarding the legislative power of the nation and particularly, regulating the organisms and the functions that are given and are a part of this legislative power. First, it establishes that the control of the legislative power falls on the U.S Congress and also the state legislatures. It also establishes that the Congress will be divided into two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate and sets the functions and powers given to each house. It establishes how the representatives to each of the houses will be selected and the periods of power they will have. It also establishes the division of power between the three main branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial.
In this particular excerpt, the article is refering specifically to the constitution of the legislative power, who will be able to be a member of this branch of government and the functions and limitations as well as the reaches that this branch will have.
