Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Pendleton Act of 1883: This act benefited Americans as a whole because federal jobs would be provided without selective treatment based on race, religion, or origin. People would be selected on the basis of merit and competitive exams.
2.) Sherman Anti-Trust Act: This act benefited Americans because it prevented cartels, monopolies, and trusts. It was made to promote competitiveness and economic fairness. Because of this bill, Americans did not have to worry as much about one company or one group of companies ruling an entire sector (monopoly).
3.) The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906/Meat Inspection Act of 1906: This act stopped the selling of unlawful food/drugs. The Meat Inspection Act ensured that meat products were processed in sanitary conditions. This improved working conditions for Americans in the Meat-Packing industry.
