To match each description to the Supreme Court case, we will examine the details provided for each case and find the best fit.
1. The case upheld breaking up the monopoly controlling railroad lines from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest.
This description matches with case B. Standard Oil Co. v. United States (1911). In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that Standard Oil, a company that had a monopoly over the oil industry, had to be dissolved due to their abusive business practices.
2. The case found that state limitations on workers' hours violated their “freedom to contract.”
This description matches with case C. Lochner v. New York (1905). In this case, the Supreme Court struck down a New York state law that imposed limits on the number of hours a baker could work in a week, asserting that it violated the freedom of contract protected under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
3. The case dissolved a monopoly of the oil industry that had engaged in abusive business practices.
This description matches with case B. Standard Oil Co. v. United States (1911), which was already mentioned in description 1.
So, the correct match is:
1. The case upheld breaking up the monopoly controlling railroad lines from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest: A. Northern Securities Co. v. United States (1904)
2. The case found that state limitations on workers' hours violated their “freedom to contract": C. Lochner v. New York (1905)
3. The case dissolved a monopoly of the oil industry that had engaged in abusive business practices: B. Standard Oil Co. v. United States (1911)
