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.

Discuss the similarities and differences between George W. Bush and Al Gore
Arte-miy333 [17]

So, Bush believed that all military missions should be based on U.S. strategic interests and should have clear objectives and exit strategies. He does not want to over commit the armed forces and would like to see allies shoulder more responsibility in terms of regional conflicts. Bush believes that U.S. regional priorities consist of Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Far East, and he strongly supports maintaining U.S. presence in NATO. He feels that the U.S. should be prepared for military intervention if necessary, but that a strong military will act as a deterrent to security threats.

Gore assailed Bush's proposal to withdraw U.S. forces from the Balkans saying it would be "a damaging blow to NATO" and would jeopardize other U.S. alliances. He has defined six criteria for deciding whether to deploy the military: (1) Is the mission in U.S. national interests? (2) Is military force the only way to solve the conflict? (3) Have all other options been exhausted? (4) Will force solve the problem? (5) Do we have the support of allies? (6) Is the cost of the operation proportionate to the objective? Gore's policy of "forward engagement" calls for early diplomatic intervention to prevent the need for future military deployment.

In the 1800s, then notion of manifest encouraged Americans to think of the United States as the land betweeen what
spayn [35]

The Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The term Manifest Destiny was first used by John O'Sullivan, a newspaper editor in 1845, to describe the prevailing American mindset that all lands from coast to coast are destined to belong to the United States. This mindset was reinforced by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 1800s, which scouted out the American West and came into fruition with the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869.

The major regions and industries that the agreement addresses NAFTA wold positively affect include the following:

  • Canada

  • Mexico

<h3>What is NAFTA?</h3>

This is referred to as North American Free Trade Agreement and was implemented after an agreement in 1994 between the top three North American economic powers.

The countries which are listed above would be positively affected due to the increase in trading between them thereby resulting in more exports and revenue which can be used as a source for their budget thereby improving the economy.

There will also be an increase in human capital thereby providing different types of jobs for the people. This helps to reduce unemployment rate which produces a ripple effect on the economy .

This is therefore the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
