a great democracy has got to be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy.


Ideally, the foundations of democracy should be derived from the people. The people--as a collective entity--is always changing. That's in a general sense. America as a full fledged democracy is arguable just because we elect representatives to choose further up the food chain. On the other hand, that can be considered democracy in play in itself.

An example of progress in democracy, formerly marginalized people would add into the collective people.

The more input, the greater the people beneifited, the more impact, the greater the society.

Which of the following was one way reformers attempted to undermine the influence of political machines
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

A. by organizing voter registration drives in immigrant neighborhoods

Explanation:

The political machines were a group of self-acclaimed bosses in the 19th and early 20th centuries who controlled the political affairs of the cities in the United States of America. Tammany Hall was one such person who wielded a lot of political influence in New York City. They canvassed for votes from the people in return for favors such as employment. These bosses became so powerful and politically strong.

There were many who did not like this form of monopoly and endeavored to overturn the way things were done. These reformers tried to achieve their aim through voter registration campaigns among the citizens with the goal of voting out the political machines.
