Answer:

Popular Sovereignty

Explanation:

The Progressive Era was a period of social activism and political reform in which many civilians participated (direct democracy) in order to reform the vertical (hierarchy) political system. Among the targets were the political machines with their corrupt and malfunctioning representatives.

Popular Sovereignty, that dates back to the Enlightenment, is the purest of  (and most horizontal) democratic government, in the sense that the goverment´s purpose should be to protect (the civil rights) and serve the people, and not the other way around. And if they fail to do, or are corrupt or both, so they should be replaced.

Answer: D. It felt the League of Nations would restrict America of its sovereignty.

Details:

The United States never joined the League of Nations, in spite of the fact that an organization such as the League of Nations was the signature idea of US President Woodrow Wilson.  He had laid out 14 Points for establishing and maintaining world peace following the Great War (World War I).  Point #14 was the establishment of an international peacekeeping association.

The Treaty of Versailles adopted that idea, but back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security. Because of its objections to membership in the League of Nations, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.
