Question

question 24 of 24 how did the industrial revolution affect politics in societies around the world? a. governments decreased their control over the economy. b. economic theories began to support stricter limits on trade. c. economic control shifted from governments to public interest groups. d. government control of the economy was proven impossible.

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution, the rise of capitalism and free - market ideas led to a shift where governments started to reduce their direct control over the economy. Option B is incorrect as economic theories like classical economics supported free trade, not stricter limits. Option C is wrong because economic control shifted towards business owners and capitalist entities, not public interest groups. Option D is also incorrect as government control of the economy in some forms (like regulation) was still possible and even necessary in some aspects, and the Industrial Revolution was more about the rise of private - sector economic power leading to less government economic control rather than proving government control impossible.

Answer:

A. Governments decreased their control over the economy.
