Great Depression and Government's Economic Role
Which of the following best describes how the Great Depression shifted American public opinion regarding the role of the federal government in the economy?
The crisis reinforced a belief in minimal government intervention, prompting widespread calls for deregulation and reduced federal spending.
The economic collapse led many Americans to support increased government intervention, laying the groundwork for the New Deal and a broader acceptance of federal welfare programs.
Government intervention was seen as entirely ineffective during the Depression, resulting in no significant shift in public values regarding federal involvement.
Public opinion remained largely unchanged, with Americans continuing to rely exclusively on free-market solutions despite the crisis.
