Which explanation displays best why they were called "Hoovervilles"

they were named after a recent film in which movie star Harold Hoover lost everything he owned and was forced in to poverty

President Coolidge used it as a term to describe the areas where President Hoover had support

many people believed Hoover did not do enough to improve the economy during the Great Depression

President Hoover provided the funds to establish permanent residences for the unemployed homeless

The correct answer is many people believed Hoover did not do enough to improve the economy during the Great Depression.

During the Great Depression, Hoover was convinced that the American economy would fix itself. This was due to Hoover's belief in laissez faire economics. Hoover believed that the economy worked best when the government was not involved.

With these beliefs in mind, he took very few concrete steps towards trying to solve this crisis. As people continued to struggle and lose their homes, they built shanty towns out of whatever they could find. These towns became known as Hoovervilles as a way to place blame for America's tough economic times.
