Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1920s were characterized by a pro-business ethos, with government policies reflecting this sentiment. This was exemplified by the laissez-faire economic policies of President Harding and Coolidge, who believed that the government should not interfere with the free market. The Federal Trade Commission, established in 1914 to regulate business practices, actually became less aggressive in the 1920s. Senator Norris, on the other hand, was a progressive who advocated for various pro-labor policies, such as an eight-hour workday and workplace safety regulations, and was not aligned with big business. The courts, meanwhile, were generally pro-business, often ruling against labor unions in disputes.
