Theodore was born on October 27, 1858. He was a short and stout with big teeth and a very colorful personality. He first stared out as vice president and when president McKinley was assassinated Theodore took the throne. I think Theodore was very successful in solving the monopoly problem because he passed the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

This image represents Theodore Roosevelt because his reform program was the square deal. The square deal focused on regulating big businesses and protecting workers and consumers.

Solution

Theordore passed the Sherman Antitrust Act to solve the problem on monopolies. The Sherman Antitrust Act believed that the government should regulate monopolies to make sure they operated for the good of the nation.

Problem Being Addressed

The problem Theodore was trying to solve was the monopolies because it causes the price to go up because there is less of the product and that's bad for the society.

Connection to Today

Theodore Roosevelt impacted a lot of lives by banning monopolies. Not only did this help in the 1800s but also today because the law is still being in forced. Its preventing companies from being the only one selling a product, which destroys the competition allowing the prices to sky rocket! If there was only one store that sold grocery's that store would charge what every they wanted because they were the only place to get grocery's. People would then have no choice but to buy the outrageously priced grocerys if they wanted to eat.
