It gave further power to the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The Mann-Elkins Act continued the federal government's authority to regulate railroad rates and telecommunication and expanded the power of the government to regulate telephone, radio, and telegraph companies.

The Mann-Elkins Act was passed in 1910 during the Progressive Era. The act was passed as part of a series of laws to regulate segments of the economy. During the Gilded Age the government passed regulation over the railroads and communications giving the government the power to set prices and prevent gouging of industries needing those services to survive. In the 1910 act, the government was provided the power to regulate the companies owning telephone, telegraph, and radio services.

Which statements about Franklin Roosevelt presidency are true?

klemol [59]

Answer: During his time in office, the role of the government in people's lives was greatly expanded.

Many of his New Deal programs were based from the Progressive movement.

Explanation:

Franklin Roosevelt was America's 32nd president. He made several contributions to the nation during his term. Immediately after winning the election, he proposed a bill that packed the Supreme Court with several justices, however, this was criticized and did not succeed (thus, first choice is incorrect).

During his reign, women were given positions in the government. He did not appoint many blacks to the government, but he did choose a woman named "Francis Perkins" (an African American) as Secretary of Labor. (thus, third choice is incorrect)

The "New Deal" programs which Roosevelt passed were "domestic policies" that expanded the government's (particularly, the federal government) role towards the people. This was a great response in order to aid people after "The Great Depression." (thus, second choice is correct)

Many of the programs under the New Deal had similarities with the "Progressive Movement." Both of them targeted the reformation among American societies. They also tried to achieve a safer place for people to live, where democracy is being practiced. (thus, fourth choice is correct)
