Answer 1

The public in the best way possible

Step-by-step explanation:

During the early 1900's, investigative journalists or "muckrakers" showed the nation how little corporations cared for hygiene and safety. Upton Sinclair, the muckraker who exposed the disgusting conditions of the meat packing industry had a profound effect on President Roosevelt. Sinclair's book, The Jungle, highlighted how meat was routinely grinded up with rats, contaminated meat, rat poison, and other factory contaminants. This caused Roosevelt to establish the Meat Inspection Act & Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. Both of these acts were aimed at setting standards for companies to set a national standard for all consumer goods.
