Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of limited liability emerged during the Industrial Revolution as a way for individuals to invest in business ventures without risking the loss of personal wealth. This principle allowed investors to limit their liability to the amount of their investment, reducing the risk of financial ruin. Business insurance, privatization, and government underwriting were not significant factors in reducing the risk of investment during this time.
