Hi i have this for school and my text book doesnt have any of the information. Ive been online looking all day and i really need some answers for this. I have to make a timeline which shows changing relationships between the federal govt and private businesses between 1870 and 1905. I need five of them with a short explanation about them (only like one sentence) and then i have to get current day events that parallel a past event with also a sentence or so. Someone please help me out with this it would mean SO much to me. thank you!

1. Start by visiting the websites provided in your question. These websites should give you important information about laws concerning food and drugs and interstate commerce, which can be relevant to the changing relationships between the federal government and private businesses during the given time period.

2. Next, search for the book titled "The Business of State Supreme Courts, 1870-1970" written by Robert A. Kagan, Bliss Cartwright, Lawrence M. Friedman, and Stanton Wheeler. This book can provide valuable insights into the relationship between the federal government and private businesses during the specified time frame.

3. Another useful resource to consider is the article titled "Government and Business: A Case Study of State Regulation of Corporate Securities, 1850-1933" by Gerald D. Nash. This article can offer additional information about state regulation of corporate securities and its impact on the relationship between the government and private businesses.

4. If you are unable to access the articles online, consider visiting your local library and consulting with a librarian. They can help you find relevant history books and other resources that cover the time period you are researching.

Once you have gathered the necessary information, you can proceed with creating your timeline. Remember to provide a short explanation for each event. To find current day events that parallel the past events, you can search for recent news articles or research government regulations and policies that address similar topics.
