Answer 1

A. The government established programs to avoid another depression and prevent economic downturns

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Depression was a period in America that brought economic hardship to the nation and as a result of this, President Franklin Roosevelt created New Deal policies to bring relief to the populace.

One of the New Deal policies that were implemented was National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) which was put in place to restrict competition while letting prices of goods and wages increase.

In 1934, the Reciprocal Tariff Act was put in place which gave the president the power to negotiate bilateral trade with other countries in order to prevent another economic meltdown and avoid downturns.
