How did Theodore Roosevelt regulate the growth of trusts?

History

Answer:  He enforced the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Context/history:

The Sherman Anti-Trust Act  was the first measure by Congress to prohibit trusts. It was passed by Congress in 1890.  A trust was when  stockholders in multiple  companies transferred their stock shares to a single group of trustees. Thus a whole industry area could be dominated by a single "trust" organization, destroying the free market of business competition. This was a monopolistic practice which the Sherman Anti-Trust Act ended.  Thus the Sherman Anti-Trust Act directly went against the idea of those who believed business success should be based on large business owners colluding with one another.

Initially the Sherman Antitrust Act was not well enforced by US courts.  But when Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt took office as President in 1901, he pushed enforcement of the Act and worked to reign in the power of big businesses.

Note:  

The Clayton Antitrust Act was passed by Congress in 1914, after Teddy Roosevelt was no longer President.

jenyasd209 [6]

Muriel is most likely a member of the district school board, since she works establishing policies and regulations that govern the schools in her district. She is an elected official, a state officer, with a significant range of decision-making authority, and that's why she, together with the other members of the board, can make rules and policies, set learning standards and educational goals, budgets and agendas, provide leadership for the district schools, and other actions.

How did the reality of the kennedy administration differ from the popular image?
kolezko [41]
The reality of JFK's short presidency doesn't really compare with the notice of Camelot popularly associated with it. The Bay of Pigs and his summit in Vienna with Nikita Khrushchev were complete failures. He got very few legislative proposal through Congress. He appeared to be a young, strong leader, when he was actually a very sick man throughout his life. He was also a notorious philanderer
