How much did the government regulate business practices during the Gilded Age

History

Elenna [48]3 years ago

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>

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The shift from nonviolent protest to violent confrontation during the mid-1960s also had a geographic difference. The nonviolent protests took place in the South while the violent confrontations took place outside of the South. The locations of confrontations outside of the South in chronological order are:

1. Harlem (NYC)

2. Watts (LA)

3. Chicago

4. Newark/Detroit

The American Civil Rights Movement in the late 1950s and 1960s represents a pivotal event in world history.

The success of the movement for African American civil rights across the South in the 1960s has largely been credited to activists who adopted the strategy of nonviolent protest. Leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Jim Lawson, and John Lewis believed wholeheartedly in this philosophy as a way of life.

Social change movements erupted in the 1960s for several interrelated reasons.  

• Since the 1930s the role of the federal government had become increasingly important in Americans’ everyday lives, and people began to look to the federal government to resolve problems.  

• After World War II (1939-1945), the United States emerged as a global power that competed with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR); this competition was both a political and moral crusade to convince people around the world that Western democracy was superior to the Communist system adopted by the USSR.  

• The 1950s and 1960s were periods of relative economic prosperity for most of the country, making economic disparity in the United States more obvious.  

• A national culture was emerging that linked all Americans more closely than ever before; television became common and allowed people to witness events taking place in other parts of the country and the world.  

• More students were going to college than before World War II, creating a concentration of concerned and educated activists on the grounds of universities and colleges.

The activists’ reliance on protest tactics that disrupted business, as usual, angered many, as did their demands that Americans change their long-standing beliefs and practices. In the 1960s, the civil rights movement, the student movement, and the antiwar movement faced serious harassment and even persecution by local police forces, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and other government agencies. The student movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and the gay rights movement never succeeded in winning the approval of a majority of Americans, at least as measured by public opinion polls and surveys. Over time, however, the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and, more controversially, the women’s movement, did convert a majority of Americans to many of their views.

One piece of evidence Bouton uses to support his argument about why some United States political leaders sought to replace the A
deff fn [24]

According to Bouton, the political leaders of the U.S. sought to replace the Articles of Confederation because they <u>A: </u><u>thought </u><u>that a </u><u>strong </u><u>central </u><u>government threatened </u><u>Americans’ </u><u>liberties</u><u>. </u>

Burton argued that the Articles of Confederation had allowed states to become quite powerful and democratic which led to:

  • More equality between the common people and the elite
  • Less profits being made by corporations
  • More emphasis on progressive taxation

He argued that the political leaders met up to draw up the Constitution so that it would give the central government more power to stop the states from threatening the power of the elite.

In conclusion, Bouton believed that the Constitution was only drawn up because the Articles of Confederation threatened the riches of the upper class.
