Part A)
Social Darwinists were not fans of any government policy that limited the development of monopolies or trusts. Those who believe in Social Darwinism believe that the strongest individuals and businesses will survive. However, Progressive presidents like Teddy Roosevelt felt that monopolies were bad for the economy, as they can manipulate prices. Roosevelt used his political power to bring court cases against businesses that acted as bad monopolies or trusts (like the Northern Securities Company).
Part B
Some of the actions taken by members of the Social gospel movement include the creation of organizations that can help those who are less fortunate. The Salvation army, which is still around today, is one of the biggest success stories. This organization helps to provide food, shelter, and clothing for individuals who need it. Along with this, the social gospel movement helped by providing education classes and Sunday schools for kids to attend while their parents were worshiping or working.
