The correct answer is A) FDR believed government should play an active role in helping people: Coolidge and Hoover believed government should stay out of people's lives.

Coolide and Hoover were advocates of the economic philosophy known as laissez faire. This philosophy focuses on having as little government interference in the economy as possible. On the other hand, FDR through his actions, clearly thinks that the federal government should help people.

This is evident by his New Deal Programs that he implemented during the Great Depression. This New Deal program made several different federal agencies that gave poor citizens money, jobs, and other types of support through this difficult era in American history.
