Hoover was a Republican and seemed to favor businesses and free market principles in comparison with Franklin D. Roosevelt who was a Democrat.

Explanation:

Despite how he is often painted as the do nothing, laissez faire president in  comparison to FDR, Hoover did show some willingness to tap the resources of the federal government to address the financial crisis that was growing in the 1930s. He cut taxes and tried to implement counter-cyclical measures using public works spending in order to try to bring about more employment and recovery. He also pressured the larger corporations from implementing massive layoffs that would have led to more hardship for many Americans. He encouraged the companies to continue investing in new facilities and equipment to keep healthy production levels. FDR would carry out further public works programs and reforms that were meant to help stimulate the economy and to help the people most affected with social programs.  

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.
