Question

how did hoover’s belief that americans should maintain their individualism affect his response to the depression?
he led efforts to loan money to hoovervilles.
he let the depression continue until world war ii.
he hired one thousand economists to advise him.
he wanted to provide indirect aid to people.

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover's commitment to individualism and limited government led him to favor indirect aid (like supporting businesses and local initiatives) over direct federal relief to individuals, as he believed direct aid would undermine self-reliance. The other options are incorrect: Hoover did not fund Hoovervilles, the Depression persisted beyond his term, and he did not hire 1000 economists.

Answer:

He wanted to provide indirect aid to people.
