Your Vote: The 1932 Election.

A lot of these questions were of inspiration from the New Campaign Trail. Its a browser game, and there is a mod where you can play as the candidates from this election. I wanna shout them out for inspiring me to make this quiz.

Remember, I may get this wrong. Try and treat each question without hindsight, and what you would've thought in the voting booth in 1932. I will be making more of these, I also made a quiz like this for the upcoming 2026 midterms, so be sure to check that out!

Thousands of World War One veterans are were gathered at Washington DC, demanding that they receive early cash payment from the World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924. Do you approve of President Hoover's decision to increase troop presence to make them leave?
- No. We should've given them the bonus's right there and then.
- Yes. America can't afford to give out reckless benefits like those bonus's. I agree with the Presidents decision.
What do you think of FDR's purposed 'New Deal'?
- I agree with it.
- While I do believe that the current policies should be reformed, these are to radical.
- These ideas are reckless and dangerous, and will lead us down a path of socialism. Government interventionism is a bad thing.
Do you agree with the Volstead Act, which enacted the prohibition of alcohol in the 18th amendment.
- Nope. People should be allowed to drink what they want.
- This is to far, but there should be regulations on these things, maybe, like drinking on a sunday.
- Yes. Drinking is immoral and unhealthy.
What is your opinion regarding the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which significantly raised tariffs? (Shout out to The New Campaign Trail with this question)
- I am a supporter of free trade. Not only should the Smoot–Hawley Tariff be repealed, but so should most other tariffs.
- Although protectionism is important for American business, these tariffs are too high and should be reduced.
- I support these tariff increases. Protectionism allows American business to prosper, and will also help to mitigate the effects of the depression.
The Revenue Act of 1932, recently signed into law, greatly increases taxes across the board. What do you think about this, was it necessary?
- These increases are unempathetic from the Hoover Administration. This act should be repealed, basic Americans can't afford to make ends meat during this depression, having the tax burden increase isn't helping them.
- Unfortunately, I see no other options. The government is failing to make enough money to fund basic services, these increases, while harsh, were necessary.
Should Industries be bailed out due to the depression?
- Bailing out industries is a necessary practice in times like these.
- Only bail industries that are necessary.
- The power should be to the free market, we shouldn't be bailing out big businesses like this.
Should the Gold Standard be Abolished.
- Yes.
- No.
What's your stance on foreign policy?
- America is too entangled in foreign affairs at the moment. We need to stop our military interventions in Latin America, and end the large amounts of foreign aid that are crippling our budget.
- I think that America should make progress to be more friendly with foreign countries. Surely joining the League of Nations or the World Court should be a priority.
- Our current system for foreign policy is a good one. We should continue to provide aid to foreign countries, as doing so will help to rebound the world economy.
Do you think that President Hoover isn't doing anything to combat the depression?
- Yes, but its not working. He needs to change his approach.
- Yes, he's a good President. In my view, he's the right President at the wrong time.
- No.
Do you think FDR is a socialist?
- Yes. That's a good thing not a bad thing.
- No. That's a smear by President Hoover.
- Yes, Socialism is dangerous.
