Explanation:

1. For government corruption: Progressive reforms aimed to increase transparency and direct citizen participation in governance.
2. For corrupt/unfair business practices: Reforms targeted monopolies and unethical corporate behavior to protect consumers and competition.
3. For urban problems: Reforms focused on improving living conditions, public health, and urban infrastructure.

Answer:

1. Corruption in government: Direct primary elections, initiative, referendum, recall, and the 17th Amendment (direct election of senators)
2. Corrupt and unfair business practices: Sherman Antitrust Act (strengthened during the era), Clayton Antitrust Act, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to regulate business practices
3. Overcrowding, urban decay, and other urban problems: Tenement House Acts (to improve housing standards), establishment of city planning commissions, public health reforms (like clean water and sanitation projects), and settlement house movements (e.g., Hull House) to provide social services to urban poor
