The idea behind Free Enterprise was "laissez-faire" Meaning "let people do as they choose." The only problem with this theory was that the Government wanted to get involved. They thought that the Free Enterprise needed more structure and regulations. The Free Enterprise supporters believed that they should not get involved in this matter and not interfere in the economy. Only that they should protect private property rights and maintain peace. This lead to big business.
