Economic reforms of the Progressive Era included increased govermment regulation of business and a series of tax reforms. In 1890, the U.S. Congress passed the Sheman Antitrust Act, which banned industrial monopolies that limited competition. But the act had little immediate effect, partly because its wording was vague. Progressives worked for a stronger law to prevent business abuses. In 1914, Congress set up the Federal Trade Commission to stop illegal business practices. Which statement best supports the conclusion that the Sherman Antitrust Act had little immediate effect after it was passed by Congress? O Reformers, such as Johnson, LaFollette, and Addams, focused on building settlement houses. O Entrepreneurs, such as Rockefeller, Camegie, and Morgan, blocked the reform. O The people living in slums in cities were uninterested in regulating businesses. O The actual words found in the law were unclear.
