What was President Hoover's response to the Depression?

Answer 1

one of the biggest things our AP teacher said to keep in mind for the test is that he believed it was a natural thing.. he thought it was a temporary dip, and would go away on its own. so he would simply step back, and wait for that to happen.

i hope this helps! stay happy and healthy, friend!

Answer 2

However, Hoover's response to the crisis was constrained by his conservative political philosophy. He believed in a limited role for government and worried that excessive federal intervention posed a threat to capitalism and individualism. He felt that assistance should be handled on a local, voluntary basis.
