Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B, in favor of big business.

Explanation:

Harding's administration (1921 – 1923) was markedly pro-business as he had campaigned under the slogan "Less government in business and more business in government". So was the Supreme Court during his time. For example, in 1923 the Court ruled against a minimum wage law for women in the Adkins v. Children's Hospital case.

During this period America was still under the influence of the First Red Scare (1919 – 1920) that took place soon after World War I ended that created  generalized xenophobia. The articulation of anti-immigration feelings and business pressure on the federal government led to an administration that was distant from the worker's demands.
