Answer 1

Harding:
- Campaigned on a “Return to Normalcy” — pro-business, reduced regulation
- Fordney–McCumber Tariff (raised tariffs)
- Administration plagued by scandals (Teapot Dome, Ohio Gang corruption)

Coolidge:
- Continued pro-business policies, cut federal spending and taxes (Revenue Acts of 1924, 1926)
- Opposed federal farm relief; vetoed McNary–Haugen-style aid
- Signed the Immigration Act of 1924 (national-origins quotas)

Both:
- Republican 1920s presidents who favored limited government and pro-business policies
- Supported higher tariffs and generally isolationist foreign policies
- Prioritized tax cuts and economic growth over expanded federal intervention
