How did FDR’s philosophy of government differ from the philosophies of Coolidge and Hoover? A. FDR wanted to control people’s lives, while Coolidge and Hoover believed in personal freedom. B. FDR believed government should play an active role in helping people; Coolidge and Hoover believed government should stay out of people’s lives. C. FDR believed in less government action than Hoover and Coolidge did. D. FDR believed government support of business would help ordinary people; Coolidge and Hoover supported more regulation.
Definitely B, even though it is sort of true also(of course he wouldn't openly admit this). FDR had his programs specifically to give people the illusion that they are working, and worried people getting reliant on government handouts. Historians will tell you that Coolidge and Hoover were super lassize faire, even though Hoover was pretty pro-government and passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff that started the depression. So yeah, B.
