The phrase that best describes the economic policy of Laissez-Faire is that it involves a minimum of government interference in business. The term "Laissez-Faire" is actually a French term that literally means "<span>leave alone or to allow to do". This kind of policy believes that both business and economy can do its functions effectively when the government won't interfere with their activities.</span>

Question: What goals did republican policy makers, ex-confederates, and freed-people pursue during reconstruction? And, to what degree did each succeed?
Answer:
<u><em>Radical republicans:</em></u> they demanded harsher measures in the south, more protections for the Freedmen, and more guarantees that Confederate nationalism was completely eliminated.
<em><u>Ex- confederates: </u></em>Their goal was to give amnesty to former Confederates.
<u><em>Freed-people:</em></u> They expected the Reconstruction Era to establish new governments in the former Confederacy and to bring freedmen (freed-people) into society as voting citizens.
In 1866, radical republicans supported the civil rights act, which granted citizenship and equal protection to blacks. The Reconstruction act of 1867 divided the south into 5 districts. Additionally, congressional radical reconstruction ordered states to provide suffrage for blacks and deny it to ex-confederates.
