(MC) Which statement BEST explains how Progressive reformers influenced the political process?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

B.) Reform efforts increased public participation in politics

Explanation:

The Progressive Era <em>(1890-1920)</em> refers to a period of United States history in which mass, novel political reformation and social advocacy occurred. With this era came reforms that covered sanitation, the environment, and most relating to this question: elections. Ultimately, the impact Progressive reformers had on the political process was most clearly visible in increased public participation in politics.

The most important election measures passed were recall, referendum, initiative, the secret ballot, and both the 17th and 19th amendment.

  • Political recall enabled United States citizens the ability to call for the process of recall, in which elected officials could be potentially deposed through recall elections initiated by petition.
  • Referendum enabled United States citizens the right to vote directly on proposed legislation in a state legislature.
  • Initiative enabled United States citizens the ability to propose legislation to be heard in a state legislature.
  • Secret ballots enabled United States citizens a right to privacy when casting their ballots.
  • The 17th Amendment enabled United States citizens a right to directly vote for United States Senators in a system of a popular vote. Prior this this, United States Senators were elected by state legislatures.
  • The 19th Amendment enabled women the right to vote.

All of the above measures are crucially responsible for a dramatic increase in the public's participation in politics.

Answer "A" is incorrect because suffrage expansion to racial minorities was not a movement at this time. The 15th amendment, allowing African-American men to vote, was passed in 1870. To strengthen the argument against this answer, the Progressives included little to no campaigns in regards to the barriers put in place to prevent African-Americans from voting, such as literacy tests and poll taxes.

Answer "C" is incorrect because the Progressive reform efforts did not restrict the power of the federal government, these efforts focused on empowering American citizens in politics, and this empowerment did not involve disempowering the federal government.

Answer "D" is incorrect as the two-party political system in the United States has predated the Progressive Era.

The idea that trade with colonies would enrich the mother country is known as
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Mercantilism is a policy that is designed to maximize the exports and minimize the imports for an economy. It promotes imperialism, tariffs and subsidies on traded goods to achieve that goal. These policies aim to reduce a possible current account deficit or reach a current account surplus. Mercantilism includes an economic policy aimed at accumulating monetary reserves through a positive balance of trade, especially of finished goods. Historically, such policies frequently led to war and also motivated colonial expansion.[1] Mercantilist theory varies in sophistication from one writer to another and has evolved over time.

Mercantilism was dominant in modernized parts of Europe from the 16th to the 18th centuries, a period of proto-industrialization,[2] before falling into decline, although some commentators argue that it is still practiced in the economies of industrializing countries,[3] in the form of economic interventionism.[4][5][6][7][8] It promotes government regulation of a nation's economy for the purpose of augmenting state power at the expense of rival national powers. High tariffs, especially on manufactured goods, were an almost universal feature of mercantilist policy.[9]

With the efforts of supranational organizations such as the World Trade Organization to reduce tariffs globally, non-tariff barriers to trade have assumed a greater importance in neomercantilism.
