Answer 2

California attempted to prevent those affected by the Dust Bowl from entering the state, California was not able to provide enough resources to accommodate the influx of people entering the state.

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

It was due to the aftermath of the Great Depression that people from all over the United States had started fleeing to California in search of jobs and any earning opportunities available.

The state government thus passed the Indigent Act in order to stop the population from fleeing in because the resources that California held were not ample enough to provide for all.
