Coolidge and hoover failed to take measures to prevent the coming depression. a. true b. false

The correct answer is true.

It is true that Hoover and Coolidge failed to take measures to prevent the coming depression.

President Hoover was committed to its small-government ideas and did nothing to prevent and later help with the dramatic issues of the Great Depression. The Great Depression started after the United States stock market crash of October 1929. After this incident, people lost their jobs, many companies closed, and banks went into bankruptcy.
