Answer 1

Number 2 is A.  This is pre-Depression Lassiaz-faire under Coolidge and Hoover.

Answer 2

1. A  is CORRECT.  Coolidge had a strong belief that business and government should have the strongest independence from each other so that one wouldn't interfere with the practices of the other and that all aspects of the government such as the Supreme Court, state and local goverments should have as a very minimal role, if any.

2. A is CORRECT and NOT C.  Welfare capitalism didn't come about until the late 1920s.  The principles of Free-Market Ecomonics came about in the early-1920s to try to bring about new avenues of growth in order to try to attempt to strengthen the failing economy.  <see reasoning in #1>
