use source 1 to answer the following question:
based on these cartoons, what is the relationship between president calvin coolidge’s administration and big business in
the 1920s? do they have a good relationship or a bad relationship? why? be specific!

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze Coolidge's policies and historical context. Coolidge was pro - business: he reduced government regulation on business, supported tax cuts that benefited corporations, and his administration's actions (like laissez - faire economic policies) fostered a positive environment for big business. For example, his “the business of America is business” ideology signaled alignment with corporate interests. So the relationship was good because his administration’s policies (deregulation, pro - business tax/regulatory stances) favored big business growth and operations.

Answer:

President Calvin Coolidge’s administration and big business in the 1920s had a good relationship. Coolidge’s administration adopted pro - business policies: he reduced government regulation of business, implemented tax cuts that benefited corporations, and his ideology (e.g., “the business of America is business”) signaled support for corporate interests. These actions created a favorable environment for big business to grow and operate with less government interference, so the relationship was positive.
