To properly choose the two highlighted examples from Herbert Hoover's "Rugged Individualism" speech that best emphasize his support for a limited federal response during the onset of the Great Depression, you would typically look for passages that reflect his belief in personal responsibility, self-reliance, and minimal government intervention in the economy.
While I can't access the specific text from the speech, examples that would fit Hoover's philosophy might include:
- References to the importance of individual initiative and personal responsibility in overcoming challenges.
- Statements about the dangers of a too-active government response or potential overreach, suggesting that federal intervention could undermine self-reliance and the American spirit.
If you can provide specific examples from the text, I would be happy to help identify which two best highlight Hoover's stance!
