A welfare state represents a form of government in which nations promote and protect the social well-being and economic status of citizens. The protection is based on principles of equitable distribution of wealth, personal responsibility by citizens, and equal opportunities (Habibov et al., 58). The welfare of states was initiated in the 1930s during Great Depression by the United States.

The government had the sole role of ensuring alleviation substantially after the civil wars. President Hoover urged employers not to reduce wages; instead, funds were increased to in facilitating public projects. The businesses were also boosted through subsidiaries to enhance sustainability.

Republicans advocated for classical liberalism and economic reforms with aim of stabilizing national revenue.
