Answer:

Because it gave government direct control of a business.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tennessee Valley Authority was a government agency that was established in 1933. It aimed to control floods, improve navigation and living standards of farmers. Also aimed to produce electrical power, all along the Tennessee River.

Many were against the Agency because it gave the government power to produce and sell electric power, which was also produced and sold by power companies.
