What measures did Roosevelt administration take to regulate business and protect consumers?

The Roosevelt administration implemented several key measures to regulate business and protect consumers, notably through the establishment of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the enforcement of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906, which aimed to ensure the safety and labeling of food and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the administration pursued antitrust actions, such as the vigorous enforcement of the Sherman Antitrust Act against monopolistic corporations to promote fair competition. Roosevelt also advocated for the regulation of railroads through the Hepburn Act, which strengthened the Interstate Commerce Commission's authority to set railroad rates. These actions collectively aimed to curb corporate excesses and protect consumer interests during the Progressive Era.
