Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Prohibition and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union are examples of Progressive moral reform.

Explanation:

In the United States there had been a Movement for Temperance, framed in the Progressive Movement, since the beginning of the 19th century, understood first as moderation in eating and drinking, then as a total prohibition of consuming alcohol, and finally as a condemnation of everything related to alcohol, especially the industry that produced it and sold it. It originated measurements like the Prohibition, and the rising of movements like the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

The Prohibition was, precisely, the law that abolished the sale of alcoholic beverages, in force in the United States between January 16, 1920 and December 6, 1933. It was established by the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution and repealed by the 21st Amendment.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union was a women's organization that originated in the United States and was the largest women's organization in the United States at the end of the 19th century. Originating from the 1870's temperance movement, the WCTU grew into a much respected organization that not only fought for alcohol prohibition and women's rights, but also engaged in social reforms.
