Question

progressives, such as woodrow wilson, supported financial reforms because they believed the nations financial system was overly controlled by
○ labor unions.
○ state governments.
○ foreign countries.
○ big business.

Explanation:

During the Progressive Era, Progressives like Woodrow Wilson aimed to address the concentration of economic power. The financial system at that time was seen as overly dominated by big business (large corporate interests), which had excessive control over financial institutions and economic policies. Labor unions focused on workers' rights, state governments didn't overly control the national financial system in this context, and foreign countries weren't the primary controllers of the US financial system then. So the correct option is about big business.

Answer:

D. big business.
