Answer 1

Answer: b) actively plan the economy

Explanation: The nineteenth-century socialists (advocates of socialism)  argued that government should actively plan the economy as opposed to the government making regulations, and regulation of the economy with tariffs. They advocated the collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and the distribution of goods. They are typically based on principles of community decision making, social equality, and the avoidance of economic and social exclusion.
