1. which factor most greatly limited union growth at the end of the 19th century? (5 points)

○ higher wages for all workers
○ popularity of social darwinism
○ hostility of business towards unions
○ improved working conditions

Explanation:

Question 8

• The right to strike and the right to collectively bargain are union - supporting tools, so they are not used against unions.
• The Fourteenth Amendment is about citizenship and equal protection, not directly against unions.
• The Sherman Anti - Trust Act was misused to prosecute unions by considering them as "combinations in restraint of trade".

• Higher wages for all workers and improved working conditions would likely encourage union growth, not limit it.
• Social Darwinism's influence was more on economic and social inequality views, not a direct limit on union growth.
• Business hostility (like opposition, blacklisting, legal actions) was a major barrier to union growth in the late 19th century.

Answer:

B. Sherman Anti - Trust Act
