The correct answer is wealthy or rich.

In America during the Articles of Confederation, many public officials did not get paid. This is because the federal government lacked the ability to collect taxes from states. Without any new sources of revenue, the individuals running for public office had to be people who were willing to work without a guaranteed salary. Only the most wealthy citizens were able to do this, as a majority of Americans would not survive without some sort of compensation.

DerKrebs [107]

During the 1920s and 1930s, the U.S. pursued a policy of <u>isolationism</u>, similar to the time prior to World War I.

United States followed an isolationist policy in the 1920s and 1930s because during the 1930s, the combination of the Great Depression and the memory of tragic losses in World War I contributed to pushing American public opinion and policy toward isolationism.

The isolationism advocated non-involvement in European and Asian conflicts and non-entanglement in international politics. There were some measures taken by U.S. to avoid political and military conflicts across the oceans.

Hence, the leaders of the isolationist movement drew upon history to bolster their position.
