It is one of the main reasons hoover lost the election of 1932.

a.) americans felt hoover’s reforms had not done enough to them directly.
b.) voters were angered by protectionist measures that inhibited foreign trade.
c.) voters wanted a repeal of prohibition laws of the 1920s.
d.) his opponent led a smear campaign that diminished his image in the public eye.

The correct answer is A) Americans felt Hoover's reforms had not done enough to help them directly.

Hoover was an advocate of a smaller federal government, especially when it came to trying to fix the economy. Hoover believed in laissez faire economics and the idea that the US economy would recover on its own. This is why Hoover took minimal action to help citizens directly. This lack of direct action resulted in people blaming Hoover for their problems. "Hoovervilles" became the name of the shanty towns for homeless citizens. "Hoover blankets" referred to newspapers that people used to cover themselves because they could not afford blankets.

Hoover would lose to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 by a landslide.

in february 1787, congress decided that a convention should be convened to revise the articles of confederation, the nation’s first constitution. in may, 55 delegates came to philadelphia, and the constitutional convention began. debates erupted over representation in congress, over slavery, and over the new executive branch. the debates continued through four hot and muggy months. but eventually the delegates reached compromises, and on september 17, they produced the u.s. constitution, replacing the articles with the governing document that has functioned effectively for more than 200 years.
