control prices and wages.

C. Government passes antitrust acts. - Companies compete for
customers

Answer 1

Answer: D

Laissez-faire is the belief that the government should not interfere with the economy. In A and C, the government is intervening in the economy, by giving companies more rights in A and by passing regulatory acts in C. In B, industries forming monopolies with no government interference would be an example of laissez-faire, however, the result of this is not a positive quality. This leaves D as the right answer since relaxed regulations is a step towards less government interference in the economy and entrepreneurs being able to better start businesses is a positive thing.

Answer 2

The answer is D

It is D because laissez-faire policies limited the power of the government on trade. So, with the relaxation of lawmakers on trade, more people were able to start their own business.
