It was a complete laissez-faire (hands off) government. There was no regulation. That's why the United States had child labor, terrible working conditions, long work hours, low wages, and no health codes/safety plans.

Not much really.

The government did not really govern the big business and they could basically do what they pleased. But as the journalists and writers and the workers started bringing all the bad things the big businesses were doing to the light of day the government started intervening just a little. A landmark law passed at the time would be the <span> Sherman Act that was against the trusts. </span>

What explanation do you have for why Kanye West needs signatures in order to appear on the November ballot in the State of Misso

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

JEFFERSON CITY — Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft said Tuesday that rapper Kanye West did not turn in enough voter signatures to have his name on the Nov. 3 ballot as an independent candidate for president.

West announced his candidacy last month. Ashcroft, a Republican, said West’s campaign turned in 6,557 valid voter signatures — short of the 10,000 signatures needed to make the ballot.

Maura Browning, spokeswoman for the secretary of state’s office, said his campaign turned in 5,072 invalid signatures, or nearly 44% of all the signatures the campaign submitted.
