Answer:

(1) laissez-faire; and after the Great Depression, the popular view of government was activist.

The Great Depression is described as the worst economic downturn in the history of the United States. It began in 1929 up until the end of the 1930s. As the effects of the Great depression, millions of people lost their jobs, and those who managed to retain theirs jobs often experience pay cuts of third or more.

It is an economic and political doctrine that holds economics function most efficiently when unencumbered by government regulations.
