Why did Progressives pass legislation to regulate business practices?
Progressives passed legislation to regulate business practices in response to the rampant corruption, monopolies, and exploitation prevalent during the Gilded Age. They sought to protect consumers, workers, and small businesses from unfair practices and to promote competition. By implementing regulations, Progressives aimed to ensure a more equitable economy and address social injustices caused by unchecked corporate power. Their efforts were rooted in a belief that government should play a key role in safeguarding the public interest.

It wasn't until the late 19th century, with the establishment of regulations like the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, that the government began to take steps toward regulating businesses and addressing issues of competition and consumer protection. However, enforcement was often weak and inconsistent during this period.
