What does it mean to "create economic reform?"

to change the government's relationship with business. You see during the Gilded Age, the government had a laissez-faire attitude towards businesses. The government believed that in order to have a strong economy, they needed to let businesses get away with whatever they wanted to in order to make profits. In this way, we would have really big, rich businesses, and therefore a strong economy. This is the concept of Social Darwinism. However what this ultimately led to was business owners making their employees work in dangerous conditions for long hours and low pay, while they got rich. So, progressive era reformers wanted the business to make more laws and regulations about what businesses are allowed to do. This is what it means to "create economic reform." They wanted to change the way that the government interacted with businesses. Now that you have finished reading this, make sure you select the other option as the correct answer, not this one. This will demonstrate that you have read this answer fully and completely.

Read the other answer so that you are reminded of what it means to "Create economic reform."

I [U.S. History student] do solemnly swear or affirm that I am abiding by the rules that my teacher, Mr. Eckhardt, and the sub appointed to manage the classroom in his absence have established. I am not using my cell phone, I am not causing a ruckus, I am not being mean to my classmates, I am not throwing things, I am not leaning on, pounding on, or otherwise interacting with the collapsible wall at the back of the classroom that divides Mr. Eckhardt and Mrs. Richards' classrooms. I am setting a good example for my peers.

This statement is true. I am a responsible high schooler who would make my parents and my teacher proud. The substitute teacher is likely to write a positive note about me and my class.

No, I have let the temptation caused by a change in routine lead me astray. I bring dishonor to my teacher and family. However, I recognize this lapse in judgement and will dedicate myself to the restoration of my honor. I will change my ways. I will respect Mr. Eckhardt, the substitute teacher, and my parents. I will become the example that other students can look to for inspiration.

No, I am a menace to society and have neither the inclination nor the respect necessary to change my ways.
