The two statements that best describe the views of President Herbert Hoover and President Franklin D. Roosevelt about how the government should respond to the Great Depression are:
- Roosevelt believed that new government programs were needed to revive the economy and help the unemployed.
- Hoover believed that the economy would fix itself, so the government should not get too involved.
These statements accurately reflect Hoover's more hands-off approach to government intervention compared to Roosevelt's belief in active government involvement to address the economic crisis.
