Question

which problems arose as a result of capitalism with little government oversight? check all that apply.
☐ an even distribution of wealth led to little competition.
☐ businesses eventually exploited the working class.
☐ workers who were injured on the job were not protected.
☐ there were vast inequalities between workers and owners.
☐ workers unions dissolved because employee treatment improved.
☐ big companies drove small companies out of business.

Explanation:

• Laissez-faire capitalism (little government oversight) leads to power imbalance between business owners and workers, allowing exploitation, lack of workplace protections, and wealth inequality. Unregulated big businesses can also force small competitors out. The first option is incorrect as this system creates unequal wealth, not even distribution, and the fifth is wrong because poor treatment led to union growth, not dissolution.

Answer:

• Businesses eventually exploited the working class.
• Workers who were injured on the job were not protected.
• There were vast inequalities between workers and owners.
• Big companies drove small companies out of business.
