Answer:  C. Government should not interfere with business practices.

Further detail:

The terminology of "laissez-faire" has been used in economics since the 18th century Enlightenment era.  "Laissez-faire" is French for "let do."  You can think of it as letting the economy do its own thing, without governments trying to interfere with it or control it.  This was an idea promoted by the Physiocrats in 18th century France.  They called themselves "Physiocrats" (those who believed in "rule by nature") because they thought trade and commerce should be allowed to proceed naturally.

The Scottish philosopher Adam Smith picked up on this idea also and promoted a capitalist economy in opposition to what he called a "mercantilist" economy where governments gave monopolies to certain merchants and tried to control business affairs.

Answer: It would be difficult and lonely.

Explanation: Dearest Francis,

I hope that this letter finds you happy and good of health. Life here in the New World is not easy, but if the elements cooperate, the benefits can be good. Winters here are longer and more bitter than in France, but the spectacular landscapes to in many ways compensate for the frigid conditions.
