Question 5 • DRHS GA-GSE US History A

Which of the following is an example of a government’s laissez-faire approach to business and the economy?

Answer
A
During a strike, the government sends negotiators to work out a deal between the company and its workers.
B
The government brings a court case against a telecommunications company that has a monopoly in the state of Colorado.
C
Congress votes down a law providing a loan to a failing car manufacturer.

Explanation

A laissez-faire approach means the government interferes as little as possible in business and the economy. By voting down a loan to a failing car manufacturer, Congress lets the company face the consequences without government financial support. Sending negotiators or bringing a court case would involve the government more directly.
