Taft's Reforms

Question 4 • MO-US History II A

What was the primary purpose of the Federal Reserve Act?

Answer
A
to reduce tariffs
B
to reduce the influence of trusts
C
to reform the banking system

Explanation

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 created the Federal Reserve System to make the banking system more stable and flexible. It established a central banking structure that could help manage the money supply and respond to financial crises. Its primary purpose was therefore to reform the banking system, not to reduce tariffs or the influence of trusts.
