    President Wilson next addressed banking reform with the 1913 Federal Reserve act. This law created a national banking system called the federal to regulate the economy. Wilson also pushed for laws to regulate big business. The Clayton antitrust act of 1914 strengthened federal laws against monopolies. The federal trade commission created in 1914 had the power to investigate.

    I choose Theodore Roosevelt because he made regulating big business a top goal of his administration. Roosevelt opened an investigation and later convinced congress to pass a meat inspection law.
