Question

how did roosevelt and wilson differ in their regulation of big business? roosevelt sought to regulate \good\ trusts, while wilson aimed to break them all up. roosevelt completely opposed trustbusting, while wilson supported all monopolies. roosevelt promoted the federal reserve, while wilson promoted the meat inspection act. roosevelt supported the ftc, while wilson enforced the hepburn act.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Roosevelt's trust - busting approach was to regulate "good" trusts (those that operated reasonably) and break up "bad" trusts. Wilson, on the other hand, was more inclined to break up all trusts. This matches their actual policies.
• Option 2: Roosevelt was a trust - buster (though he differentiated between good and bad trusts), and Wilson was not in favor of all monopolies. So this option is incorrect.
• Option 3: The Federal Reserve was established during Wilson's presidency, and the Meat Inspection Act was during Roosevelt's. So this option has the two presidents' actions reversed.
• Option 4: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was established during Wilson's presidency, and the Hepburn Act was during Roosevelt's. So this option also has their actions reversed.

Answer:

A. Roosevelt sought to regulate "good" trusts, while Wilson aimed to break them all up.
