What social and institutional factors determined the role of government in the late nineteenth century?
In the late nineteenth century, the role of government was significantly influenced by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of labor movements, which demanded better working conditions and social reforms. The prevailing social Darwinism ideology promoted limited government intervention, favoring laissez-faire capitalism and individualism. Additionally, the increasing power of corporate interests and the rise of monopolies often led to government policies that prioritized business over labor rights. This complex interplay of societal pressures and institutional responses shaped the government's approach to economic and social issues during this period.

How was the Sherman Antitrust Act used against unions?
The Sherman Antitrust Act was suppose to deal with large trust that held monopolies from various sections. The problem with the Sherman Antitrust Act was that it had actually used to attack unions. Unions fought the monopolies in order to gain more rights for the workers such as better living conditions, higher wages, 8 hour shifts, etc. The Sherman Act outlawed practices that are believed to be harmful to the consumers. Union strikes against railroads, coal, and other industries were stomped on because of this act. The monopolies convinced the American Government that the strikes imposed by the unions were "harmful" to the consumers. Therefore the Sherman Act was a double-edged sword that made the monopolies think more before they act (still the act didn't do that much) and it was used to bring down the unions that fought against the monopolies. The monopolies would be able to weaken unions; thus allowing them to reduce working conditions that allowed them to increase their profits.

What was the relationship between government and business in the late 1800?
In the latter half of the 1800s, businesses were doing pretty much what they wanted, including building monopolies, paying low wages, and allowing terrible working conditions. Government did little to stop it for a long time. Around 1890, the Progressives in government decided to put a stop to a lot of the abuse. The government started to regulate several business practices including making monopolies illegal. Businesses were not happy and have been fighting government regulations in one form or another ever since.
