What laws did Herbert Hoover make?

Answer 1

1. Immigration Act of 1924 - This act set up a quota for the number of immigrants from each country allowed to enter the United States. The quota limited immigration to 2% of the number of people from each country in 1890. This law aimed at reducing the number of Southern and Eastern Europeans, who did not have large numbers of immigrants in 1890. Southern and Eastern Europeans began arriving heavily after 1890.

2. Agricultural Marketing Act of 1929 - A Federal Farm Board was created with half a billion dollars to stabilize agricultural prices. It attempted to stop the downward collapse of farm crop prices by purchasing crop surpluses or lending money to farms.

3. Ransdell Act of 1930 - The National Institute of Health and public funding for medical research was established.

4. Hawley-Smoot Tariff - Tariffs were set at extremely high levels. Because tariffs were so high, American imports and exports decreased by more than half.

5. Norris-La Guardia Act - The law banned yellow-dog contracts and stopped federal courts from issuing injunctions for nonviolent labor disputes.

6. Federal Home Loan Bank Act - Home loan banks were created throughout the country to assist families in making loans for construction and employment.
