He feared people would use alcohol to escape economic woes.

Explanation:

During the nineteenth century, various political and religious leaders in the United States argued that alcoholic beverages should be largely fought by the government. Many supporters of the idea, in addition to religious and moral arguments, believed that banning beverages would be beneficial to the nation's development and could avoid the risk of self-harm.

With the outbreak of the economic crisis in 1929, opposition to the Seca Law ended up gaining strength. Supporters of the repeal argued that the release of beverages would be a good alternative for the generation of new jobs in the country. This view was not shared by President Hoover, who feared that people would use alcohol to escape economic problems.

In 1933, in the Roosevelt Government the prohibition was overthrown.

a social contract.

"a social contract is an agreement between citizens and their leader where the citizens give up certain freedoms in exchange for protection. the constitution of the united states is an example of a social contract."
