The gold of the trust-busting in the early 1900s was eliminate or regulate those business, which due to their increasing fraudulent actions like intimidation and bribing,  were  becoming and impediment to a free market economy.

Monopolies and Trusts became the principal target for then President Theodore Roosevelt between 1901 and 1909. But the fight against these entities continue until 1917. The previous approach from the government to stay away from big businesses, was no longer effective because these big monopolies were using their corporate power to abuse smaller businesses.  

President Roosevelt was very clear and conveyed that he was not against big businesses and Trusts, only those who were abusive and bad for a free market economy.

Federal regulation of big  businesses was extremely difficult to implement but at the end, new anti-trust laws and regulations were created, to keep this corporations within the law.

I believe that the most fitting answer for this question would be prosecuting "trusts," or monopolies, that were in violation of the federal Anti-Trust law. During the Progressive Era, or 1900 to 1917, trust-busting efforts were very prevalent. Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson were especially adamant about trust-busting. Hope this helps.

HELP asap! how did Lincoln and Douglas disagree on the declaration of independence?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

from a speech, "Now, my countrymen, if you have been taught doctrines conflicting with the great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence; if you have listened to suggestions which would take away from its grandeur, and mutilate the fair symmetry of its proportions; if you have been inclined to believe that all men are not created equal in those inalienable rights enumerated by our chart of liberty, let me entreat you to come back. Return to the fountain whose waters spring close by the blood of the Revolution. Think nothing of me - take no thought for the political fate of any man whomsoever - but come back to the truths that are in the Declaration of Independence. You may do anything with me you choose, if you will but heed these sacred principles. You may not only defeat me for the Senate, but you may take me and put me to death. While pretending no indifference to earthly honors, I do claim to be actuated in this contest by something higher than an anxiety for office. I charge you to drop every paltry and insignificant thought for any man's success. It is nothing; I am nothing; Judge Douglas is nothing. But do not destroy that immortal emblem of Humanity - the Declaration of American Independence."

What argument best responds to citizens who do not vote because they feel that their votes do not make a difference?
katrin [286]

The correct answer is D.

<em>Elections are often decided by only a few votes.</em>

Voting in an election is a right and a moral obligation for many. However, nobody can force a citizen to vote. Voting is a direct way to tell the government what the citizens want.

<em>Only a few or even one vote</em> can make a difference in the outcome of an election. Richard Nixon, for example, and not John F. Kennedy would have become President in 1960 if one person from each voting place had voted differently. The argument that 'it's only one vote after all' is dangerous because whoever says it forgets that it's not only them who think so. So the ' it's only one vote after all' attitude multiplies itself by people with similar way of thinking. In the end, the 'one vote' becomes many votes which may significantly change the results of an election.

The North American Free Trade Agreement, abbreviated NAFTA, is a free trade zone that includes Canada, the United States and Mexico.
