Whoever helps me will get a medal and fan.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will help

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

I need help creating an outline for this question: Explain how Theodore Roosevelt used federal power to regulate business and expand American power.

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

What do you know about it? Start by listing every thin you know. On a piece of paper or in a new doc

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

Then group together stuff that seems to be about the same thing.

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

All I remember about the topic is the Coal Strike and that he enforced the Sherman Antitrust act

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea soory

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

So there's two topics. What did TR do about the Coal Strike? What did he do with the Antitrust Act? It's an outline, you don't need full sentences.

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Coal strike 1. employees wanted higher wages, less work hours, and recognition of union. 2. Outcome: 10% raise, reduced workdays to 9-10 hrs, owners got more income from coal, did not recognize trade union

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Enforced Sherman Antitrust act 1. Theodore Roosevelt first one to enforce the act 2. Prohibits trading with companies and monopolizing trade

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

Starting to look like an outline to me. See if you can provide examples. For instance, your line "1. Theodore Roosevelt first one to enforce the act" should probably have a. b. and c. under it. List the specific instance he used it. Something like this: 1. Theodore Roosevelt first one to enforce the act a. first example b. second example c. another example

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

1. Theodore Roosevelt first one to enforce the act a. Used the act to end business monopolies. b. Used act to dismantle the Northern Securities Corporation

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

You have the right idea. Do the same kind of thing with all the topics. If you find that you don't know enough details. Go back to you text. Look only for those details. Don't let yourself get distracted or discouraged. Just do one step at a time.
