<u>Answer</u>:
The free enterprise system encouraged the American economic growth in the 1800's by gaining wealth.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The Free Enterprise system led to the rise of industries. The United States government took a different approach to regulate its business. This approach was called free enterprise. This also eventually led to technological innovations.
The main motto of this system was "Let people do as they choose". Supporters of free enterprise system believed that the government rather than interfering in the economy, should protect their private property rights and maintain peace.
The British largely permitted this as it was capable of bringing wealth in the country and their North American colonies would develop. Thus, large amount of availability of labor, natural resources like coal, iron and the government policies help the rise of industries during late 1800s.
The correct answer is D. Baron de Montesquieu.
Explanation
Charles Louis de Secondat, lord of la Brède and baron de Montesquieu (1689 - 1755) was a French philosopher who stood out for his ideas related to the intellectual and cultural movement of the Enlightenment. His works focused on the theory of separation of powers, which has been introduced in many constitutions around the world. His most famous work on the division of powers was his treatise "On the Spirit of the Laws" in which he states that in antiquity the functions of the State (necessary for the protection of the citizen) were monopolized in a single entity, which usually associates with despotism. Therefore, he proposes to distribute public powers among different entities, which limit each other, avoiding the monopolization of power in a single person or entity. So, the correct answer is D. Baron de Montesquieu.
