Egt1 Task 3 A. The four major federal legislative pieces of Anti-trust laws are the Federal Trade Commission Act, The Clayton Act, The Sherman Act and the Celler-Kefauver Act. The Sherman Act was passed in 1890 to outlaw monopolies and stop companies from conspiring together to cause trade restraint. The act established that violaters could be fined or imprisoned as well as sued by parties injured by their unlawful actions. It also established that monopolies could be broken up forcibly.

Anti-drug legislation In the United States anit-drug legislation dates back to around 1875, when a statue was enacted prohibiting the smoking of opium. The first major federal anit-drug legislation came in 1914, which was called the Harrison act. The Harrison Act allowed those who sold opium, heroin, cocaine, and morphine to register with the federal government and to pay a tax of 1 dollar per year. However during this time the only individuals who were allowed to register with the federal government were members of the medical profession. Pharmacist and physicians were at the top of the list and those individuals who were caught distributing these drugs who were not registered faced a fine and also imprisonment up to five years (Schmalleger, 2005).
In this time the average poverty level for a family of six is $600, and the average earning of American worker is less than $500. During this period three presidents served, President Roosevelt, William H. Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. These three presidents made many changes but made little to no change in racial segregation and to labor unions. At your bed side you asked me to put a million dollars, your entire life savings, into three professional reforms. The way I will spend the one million dollars is, 600,000 dollars in food safety,300,000 child labor dollars in, and 100,000 dollars in woman's suffrage.
Roosevelt’s republican party split, Taft’s separation from the ideas of Roosevelt, and Wilson’s democratic perspective bring light to the idea that although these men shared the progressive opinion, their ideas differed in many ways. Theodore Roosevelt was the brain behind the progressive party that would eventually lead to the split of the Republican party. Roosevelt called for the “Square Deal” between business, consumers, and labor and supported the “Strenuous Life”. Unlike the others, Roosevelt wished to destroy bad trusts and regulate the good ones rather than break them all up. Roosevelt was the first president to introduce progressive ways of thinking and although each president’s ideas were similar in ways such as trust busting and conservation measures, his ideas were the framework for the U.S. William Howard Taft was the presidential candidate hand picked by Roosevelt.
During his ministry of 1874-1880, Disraeli’s Conservative party held a more active foreign policy that that of his Liberal predecessor. This foreign policy included pursuing British National interests abroad and trying to convince the public that Britain was once again a major player in European politics. The policies implemented by Disraeli’s government (such as the Royals Title Act in 1876) are often greeted by two responses. Whilst some historians argue that the pursuit of imperial interests was part of Disraeli’s plans to build up a One Nation Tory democracy that was evident in Disraeli’s earlier works of political ideologies. Another argument of Disraeli’s passion for furthering of British interests was an opportunist measure that Disraeli endorsed as a way of gaining political credence.

Jefferson and his republicans were believers in a strong state government. Jefferson wanted each state government to be responsible for their share in paying off the nation’s debt. Hamilton thought that the debt should be equally shared by the whole nation. Disagreements like these resulted in the creation of Hamilton’s Federalist party. Hamilton created his Federalist party to help promote his goals for the United States.
It cannot be reduced to a simple tale of conquerors and victims, bad presidents and greedy cowards, or the march of progress versus unbending cultures.

Wilson, too, supported the Progressive movement. Despite Roosevelt’s attempts to bring the trusts under control, they were even more powerful in 1913 than they had been in 1900. Wilson believed that only action by the federal government could halt this process. He called his policies ”The New Freedom”. They were put into effect by a series of laws passed between 1913 and 1917.
