The correct answer is A) to ensure individual freedoms.

The 9th amendment essentially states that any right not given specifically to the government is retained by the people. The implementation of this amendment was rooted in the fears of American citizens who worried about a tyrannical central government that would take away the rights of citizens. This paranoia about a strong central government really originated due to America's relationship with the British during the late 18th century.

This is why when America became independent, they tried to create a government structure in which the central government was extremely limited in its scope.

How much did the average loaf of bread cost in 1912 in u.s.?
TiliK225 [7]
About a nickel.

The oldest statistical data I can locate doesn't have information earlier than 1913, but in 1913 the average loaf of bread was shown at 5.6 cents.  This was as reported in <em>Historical Statistics of the United States: Colonial Times to 1970 (volume 2),</em> as published by the <span>U.S. Department of Commerce.</span>

 Or, as another example, the Denver post reported that in 1912 Hurlbut's--which was then a grocery store in Denver--advertised "<span>six loaves of 'homemade' bread for 25 cents," which would work out as a special price less than 5 cents per loaf for the store's bakery bread.   (Source:  "A Titanic Difference in the Cost of Living 100 Years Later, <em>The Denver Post, </em>March 16, 2012.)</span>

"Worked for a national income tax to help poor people" was one action that Progressives took to help poor people.

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The decades ago, democrats introduced a national income tax with the concept of paying a greater rate for those who earned more than for those who made little. The 16th Amendment in the Constitution was adopted on 3rd February 1913, nearly a century ago requiring a federal income tax.

For an instance, a sales tax on luxury goods, an income or property tax, a sales tax deduction on basic services can be portrayed as having progressive effects, as it hike the tax liability on greater income households while cuts it on low income households.
