Final Jeopardy
How did government both support big
business and then come to break down big
business during the late 1800’s? Give some
examples.
Final Jeopardy Answer
Big business was allowed to expand at a rapid
rate while be largely unchecked. The
government supported this by giving lands in
the west and not passing legislation to stop
expansion. Later the government had to
intervene to support the worker and consumers.
The Sherman Antitrust Act and the Granger
Laws help to enforce this, and set the stage for a
showdown between big business and the
government at the turn of the century.
