“Owe my soul to the company store”
Buying on credit, from employer, means you will likely fall into a cycle of debt to one supplier. Limiting your ability to make purchases from other vendors.
Or to even look for work in another town/move on. Until you pay of your recurring debts, employer effectively owns you!!
Companies in say mining towns, owned or controlled every business from butcher shop, general stores, the bank etc. A monopoly.
I think its A. I'm not entirely sure but it does seem most logical.
<u>Anyways a big reason that these powers are limited is to keep society in a stable place. Tyranny brought onto any civilization over the years has led to its downfall. This balance helps keep both the government and its people under equal terms. </u>
Its not B. because this would allow tyrant rulers to keep their position putting everyone else at a disadvantage to please themselves. This simply doesn't make sense if you were to limit the government.
C. isn't a possibility either because each government only governs over said region.
D. can also be justified under my response to B. since it has the same meaning yet is worded differently/ or relates to more modern leaders I suppose.
Anyways, I hope I was helpful and good luck :D
The person that is being described above is J.P. Morgan and the answer for this would be option B. J.P. Morgan was the known "robber baron" who consolidated Carnegie steel and the national steel company into U.S. Steel in the year 1901. Hope this answers your question.
