Which of the following was a belief held by Progressive reformers? A. Big businesses should be regulated by government to help small businesses. B. America should take new territory from Mexico. C. Regulations weren't needed to run an efficient economy. D. The spoils system was a great way to run government.

Verified Answer :

The answer is letter a. Big business should be regulated by
government.  Many progressives believed
that when big business runs unchecked not only does it destroy smaller
businesses but also increases the gap between the rich and the poor because it
tends to take all the profits leaving those who worked so hard with very
little.  Sometimes big business left
unchecked can also resort to unlawful business operations that destroy lives.
