Answer 1

Answer;

Acted quickly to end strikes, using both the courts and federal troops

Step-by-step explanation;

The government responded forcefully to union activity, which they saw as a threat to the entire capitalist system.

The Federal troops have been used by the government in connection to major labor disputes, chiefly coal and metal mining strikes. In the interests of national defense, Federal troops were directed to take over and operate an aircraft-manufacturing plant.

The president's power to dispatch troops to the scene of a labor dispute is derived from constitutional and statutory provisions which authorize the use of armed forces in domestic disturbances.
