Identify the core demand of the Bonus Army

Using the Bonus Army knowledge point
The Bonus Army consisted of World War I veterans who marched on Washington, D.C., in 1932. Under the World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924, they were promised a bonus payment to be distributed in 1945. Due to the severe economic hardships of the Great Depression, these veterans demanded that Congress pass legislation to pay their service certificates immediately rather than waiting until 1945.

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1: "They wanted permanent housing and long-term public works jobs." This is incorrect; while they set up temporary camps (Hoovervilles), their primary legislative demand was the early payment of their promised military bonuses.
• Option 2: "They wanted Hoover to promise that they would have their bonuses in 1945." This is incorrect; the 1945 payment was already legally promised. They wanted the money immediately.
• Option 3: "They wanted Congress to keep its promise to pay their benefits before 1945." This is correct; they petitioned Congress to pass the Patman Bonus Bill to authorize early redemption of their certificates.
• Option 4: "They wanted Hoover to punish General MacArthur for his attack." This is incorrect; the march and demands occurred before MacArthur's military eviction of the veterans.
