The booming economy began to collapse in mid-1920 . The Republican candidates for president and vice president, Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge, easily defeated their Democratic opponents, James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt.  \n1. Which American president suffered a stroke during his second term?  \na. Calvin Coolidge  \nb. Franklin D. Roosevelt  \nc. Warren G. Harding  \nd. Woodrow Wilson  \n2. Who was elected president of the United States in the 1922 election?  \na. Calvin Coolidge  \nb. James M. Cox  \nc. Franklin D. Roosevelt  \nd. Warren G. Harding  \nFollowing ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, women voted in a presidential election for the first time.  \n3. Which amendment granted suffrage to women?  \n___________________________________  \n___________________________________  \nThe first two years of Harding's administration saw a continuance of the economic recession that had begun under Wilson. By 1923, however, prosperity was back. For the next six years the country enjoyed the strongest economy in its history, at least in urban areas. Governmental economic policy during the 1920s was eminently conservative. It was based upon the belief that if government fostered private business, benefits would radiate out to most of the rest of the population.  \n4. Rural areas benefited the most from the economic prosperity of the 1920s.  \na. True  \nb. False  \n5. Republicans of the 1920s believed that if government fostered private business, benefits would radiate out to most of the rest of the population.  \na. True  \nb. False  \nAccordingly, the Republicans tried to create the most favorable conditions for U. S. industry. The Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922 and the Hawley-Smoot Tariff of 1930 brought American trade barriers to  \n[Free Educational Materials Online: www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](Free Educational Materials Online: www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nName:   Date:   Class:    \nnew heights, guaranteeing U. S. manufacturers in one field after another a monopoly of the domestic market, but blocking a healthy trade with Europe that would have reinvigorated the international economy. Occurring at the beginning of the Great Depression, HawleySmoot triggered retaliation from other manufacturing nations and  \ncontributed greatly to a collapsing cycle of world trade that intensified world economic misery.  \n6. What two American tariffs stood as barriers to trade with Europe?  \nThe federal government also started a program of tax cuts, reflecting Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon's belief that high taxes on individual incomes and corporations discouraged investment in new industrial enterprises. Congress, in laws passed between 1921 and 1929, responded favorably to his proposals.  \n7. Why did the United States cut  \ntaxes for individuals and corporations during the 1920s?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\n\"The chief business of the American people is business,\" declared Calvin Coolidge, the Vermont-born vice president who succeeded to the presidency in 1923 after Harding's death, and was elected in his own right in 1924 . Coolidge hewed to the conservative economic policies of the Republican Party, but he was a much abler administrator than the hapless Harding, whose administration was mired in charges of corruption in the months before his death.  \n8. Who became president of the  \nUnited States in 1923, following the death of Warren G. Harding?  \n___________________________________  \n___________________________________  \nThroughout the 1920s, private business received substantial  \nencouragement, including construction loans, profitable mail-carrying contracts, and other indirect subsidies. The Transportation Act of 1920 (also known as the Esch-Cummins Act), for example, had already restored to private management the nation's railways, which had been u","cbCaikqclWAG5CXS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikqclWAG5CXS","pdf",69450,"English","# 10.5 The Booming 1920s\n## Presidents and Elections\n## Women’s Suffrage and the 19th Amendment\n## 1920s Economic Policy\n## Tariffs, Trade Barriers, and Depression Effects\n## Tax Cuts and Republican Ideology\n## Privatization of Transportation and Maritime Services\n## Agriculture Decline After World War I\n## Mass Consumption in the 1920s","[{\"question\":\"Which president suffered a stroke during his second term?\",\"answer\":\"Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke during his second term.\"},{\"question\":\"Who was elected president after the 1922 election?\",\"answer\":\"Warren G.
