Answer 1

Answer is :The government should not get involved in regulating businesses.  

The idea behind social Darwinism according to sociological thought is that society regulates itself by intrinsec mechanisms. In that way, rather than relying on government bureaucracy or other forces, all groups and individuals that are the fittest will eventually organize in a complex and ever better socio economic structure.

Social Darwinism thought states that natural selection, when applied to societies and government operates according to evolution, so it helds that no state or government could promote moral feelings

Some promiment thinking such as Herbert Spencer was invoked to justify laissez-faire economics and the minimal state, in other words the “survival of the fittest,” creates the wealth and better state of being eventually.
