item set- president hoover’s response to the great depression
source 1
herbert hoover, “rugged individualism” campaign speech, 1928
we were challenged with a peacetime choice between the american system of rugged individualism and a european philosophy of diametrically opposed doctrines—doctrines of paternalism and state socialism. the acceptance of these ideas would have meant the destruction of self - government through centralization of government. it would have meant the undermining of the individual initiative and enterprise through which our people have grown to unparalleled greatness
our country has become the land of opportunity to those born without inheritance, not merely because of the wealth of its resources and industry but because of this freedom of initiative and enterprise

Explanation:

El Hawley - Smoot Tariff Act de 1930 tenía como objetivo principal elevar los impuestos a las importaciones. Esto se hizo para proteger a las empresas estadounidenses de la competencia externa, especialmente durante la Gran Depresión. Las opciones A, B y D no coinciden con el propósito real de esta ley: A no es correcto porque no buscaba nuevos acuerdos comerciales, B no es correcto porque no buscaba eliminar aranceles, y D no es correcto porque no buscaba bajar impuestos a importaciones. La opción C describe correctamente el propósito: "to raise import taxes to protect American businesses".

Answer:

C. to raise import taxes to protect American businesses
