  11. 1. He believed in rugged individualism. Thiis is the idea that success comes through individual effort and private enterprise. He believed private charities and local communities, not federal government, could provide for those in need best.
    2. It did little to ease the depression.
    3. FDR supported innotative relief programs while he was governor. Roosevelt also attacked Hoover's record. Many people voted for FDR just to votem against Hoover.
