Answer 1

The group that benefited the least from the early development of laissez-faire capitalism in Europe would be **enslaved African men**. This group was subjected to exploitation and oppression, having no rights or economic benefits within the capitalist system, in stark contrast to other groups who, despite their varying levels of privilege, could benefit to some extent from the economic opportunities that arose during this period.
