Question refers to the excerpt below.

"If our great corporations would more scrupulously observe their legal limitations and duties, they would have less cause to complain of the unlawful limitations of their rights or of violent interference with their operations. The community that by concert, open or secret, among its citizens denies to a portion of its members their plain rights under the law has severed the only safe bond of social order and prosperity. Those who use unlawful methods, if moved by no higher motive than the selfishness that prompted them, may well stop and inquire what is to be the end of this."—Benjamin Harrison, from his Inaugural Address, March 4, 1889

Harrison's emphasis on the effects of corporate "selfishness" reflects the growing influence of

elitist influence as seen in the Gospel of Wealth
African American reformers like Booker T. Washington
reformist sentiments as seen in the Social Gospel
women's social groups like the WSPU

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

African American reformers like Booker T. Washington

Answer 2

Answer: reformist sentiments as seen in the Social Gospel.

Explanation: The Social Gospel, which surfaced during the latter stages of the 19th and early stages of the 20th centuries, aimed to implement Christian beliefs and values in tackling social predicaments such as destitution, disparity, and inequity. Social Gospel proponents asserted that both individuals and institutions possessed an ethical duty to strive towards the amelioration of society. This objective could be realized through implementing social and political transformations.

The statement posited by Harrison espouses the notion that corporations ought to conduct themselves in a manner that is both ethical and responsible, given that their self-serving conduct has the potential to erode the foundations of social stability and prosperity. This reflection embodies the principles of the Social Gospel movement, which emphasized the significance of collective obligation and communal wellbeing.
