The united states began as more of a
1: market economy but grew more mixed as government added laws and regulations
2: traditional economy but became a command economy as the government grew
3: mixed economy but became a market economy by reducing government laws
4: command economy but grew more mixed as government ended practices

Its number one I got it right on my test.

The United States began more of a 1. market economy but grew more mixed as government added laws and regulations. In a market economy, a free market of voluntary trade is the first way men exchanged goods and protected their private property. In a mixed economy private property is protected, but ot also allows governments to intervene in economic activities for the public good.

the answer to your question is true
