President Roosevelt Addresses Gian Business Trusts (jan 1, 1901 – jan 1, 1908)

Description:

Unlike his predecessors who strictly followed laissez-faire policies, President Roosevelt instructed the Justice Department to successfully file 25 law suits under the Sherman Anti Trust Act. As a result, Roosevelt established the executive branch's power to regulate business trusts that violated public interest and therefore, strengthened Executive power.
