Which action of president taft angered the progressives in his party?

History
1 answer:
liq [111]4 years ago
8 0

A. Signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff 
 Let's look at the available options and see what their effects were. 
 A.Signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
 * The Payne-Aldrich tariff was a compromise bill that frustrated both proponents and opponents of reducing tariffs. After Taft signed the bill, the Republican Party split into Progressives and Old Guards. This split cost the Republican's the 1910 congressional election. This is the correct choice.  
 B.Busting 90 trusts in a four-year term.
 * President Taft was even more aggressive than President Roosevelt was in anti-trust suits. So you could consider this a continuation of a policy previously established by the Republican party and this didn't anger the progressives in that party. So this is a wrong answer. 
 C.Dismissing James Sherman as his vice president. 
 * President Taft didn't dismiss Vice President Sherman. James Sherman died October 30, 1912. So this is also a wrong choice. 
 D.Appointing Gifford Pinchot as Secretary of Interior.
 * Since Gifford Pinchot was never the Secretary of Interior (Richard A. Ballinger was secretary from 1909–1911 and Walter L. Fisher from 1912-1913), this can't be the reason. So this too is a bad choice.

Answer:

it was only a temporary solution to the argument between “free” and “slave” states

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was an agreement that determined that every enslaved American would count as 3/5 of a person for taxation and representation in the Legislative. The compromise solved a problem between anti-slaves and pro-slave states for a short time. The Anti-Slave states argued that if slaves were not considered people and citizens they could not count as the population to representation and taxation matters, this opinion would hurt the slave's states, which had a big population of slaves. So the agreement was reached. The Compromise was a temporary solution because later, came the civil war which forced the 13th and 14th Amendments to pass, the 14th Amendment officially repealed the Compromise.

serg [7]

Answer:

prediction

This includes consumers' decision making on their purchase, choice of commodities, and saving options.
