Answer:

D. break up big businesses monopolies

Explanation:

Roosevelt was in favor of a strong federal power, capable of regulating the economic activity of the country. He attacked large private companies and his economic policy was against monopoly, which he accused of obtaining enormous benefits to the detriment of consumers, and initiates proceedings against the large capitalists of the railroad, oil and agri-food industry. The formal start of this crusade against industrial trusts occurs in a long speech of more than 30 pages that he gives in the House of Representatives.

Theodore Roosevelt is committed to ensuring that the Sherman act is respected. It also intervenes to arbitrate the conflict between striking and employer miners; This fact allows them to get an 8-hour day and fairer wages for workers, which is called an "equitable agreement." Roosevelt belongs to the progressive current and some conflicts, such as the one that confronted banker J. P. Morgan gave him that reputation in history.

Were medieval manors nearly self sufficient
lina2011 [118]
This mostly depended on the fertility of the soil nearby the manor, the amount of serfs a lord had and the trade that he had set up with other manors. The reason for this is that if a manor had fertile soil, the lord had set up ample trade between manors, and therewere enough serfs to work on the land, they were pretty much self-suficient. However, if these things were lacking, then self-sufficiency was not necessarily achieved.

What do the pictures in Jacob's riis's book how the other half lives show.
wariber [46]

Correct answer: B. Overcrowded and unsanitary tenements

Details:

Jacob Riis was a police reporter in New York.  In 1888, Riis took pictures of what life was like in city's slums.  Using his own photos as well as photos gathered from other photographers, Riis began to give lectures titled, "The Other Half: How It Lives and Dies in New York," in which he would show the pictures on a projection screen and describe for viewers what the situations were like.  He gave his lectures in New York City churches.  In 1989, a magazine article by Riis (based on his lectures) was published in <em>Scribner's Magazine.  </em>The book version was then published in 1890 as <em>How the Other Half Lives: Studies among the Tenements of New York.</em>

Riis blamed the poor living conditions on greed and neglect from society's wealthier classes, and called on society to remedy the situation as a moral obligation.

How did bb king impact the community?
emmainna [20.7K]

BB King’s music had a deep impact on the lives of people.  He popularized the blues which is an expression of people angst and frustrations.  That is the reason why people can relate with his music.  His blending of traditional blues and rock would later influence other talented musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and U2 among others.  He brought the blues to a wider audience and up until his death still goes on tour to spread the gospel of the blues.
