Question

how did the great depression change many peoples views about government?
○ they became more optimistic about the place of the united states in the world.
○ they expected the national government to become less involved in the economy.
○ they expected the national government to become more involved in the economy.
○ they became more concerned about national security.

Explanation:

The Great Depression led to widespread economic hardship. Before, there was a more laissez - faire approach, but the depression showed that unregulated markets could fail. People then looked to the national government for help, like through New Deal programs. Option 1 is about US global position, not government - people views. Option 2 is opposite, as people wanted more government help. Option 4 is about national security, not related to government's economic role. So the correct view is that people expected more government economic involvement.

Answer:

C. They expected the national government to become more involved in the economy.
