Short Answer Question Calvin Coolidge

1a.) The cartoon from the Jazz era of the 1920s is showing how Coolidge made big
businesses happy by implementing pro-business policies. Big businesses strongly
favored Coolidge and were overjoyed during this time. Coolidge plays the music
because he is in charge, and what he says goes.
1b.) one of the many policy examples is Coolidges protective tariff on international
trade. Coolidge made foreign products a lot more expensive with this tariff. He
believed that this would almost force Americans to buy from American Industries.
1c.) the immediate impact of the Coolidges tariff is that American business and
industries had a major boom. More Americans bought from local businesses. This
gave the businesses a chance to grow and expand. This expansion led to a rise in
the stock market as well.
