The law was enacted in 1890 and was in force until the end of World War I. Laws have been enacted to suppress the business practices of individuals and companies whose business was deemed harmful to the market.

Response briefly explains TWO important ways in which the Second World War transformed United States society.
Kobotan [32]

It brought economic and political dominance of the US.

For the United States, the post-World War II period was one of peace and prosperity. The Americans used the money they had saved during World War II to purchase consumer goods that were not available during the conflict. With the subsequent boom in the economy, thousands of people found jobs in the United States. The Americans were making more money and the nation had the highest standard of living in the world.

American society was also changing. The population of the United States has grown a lot due to the high birth rate: soldiers returning from the war have established families and had children. Medical advances have also raised life expectancy for Americans. A law imposed in 1965 allowed more Asians and Latin Americans to immigrate to the country.
