ELEN [110]3 years ago

Muckrakers exposed all of the flaws in society and the government and a lot of books were written about the problems there were. Poor working conditions, child labor, and quality of processed meat and other foods were big issues. During that time period people were big on from of press so that and the fact that people were just fed up in general led to reform.

Which European nation developed a less centrallzee system of government than the others
monitta

The correct answer is letter D

A centralized government is one that concentrates power and decisions in the hands of a few people, usually the federal sphere (chief executive and ministers) has power and control over state and municipal spheres.

Decision making in an state can be centralized or decentralized. Centralization is the way in which the location of decision making is close to the top of the organization. Decentralization, on the other hand, puts pressure on the lower hierarchical levels to make decisions.

Naya [18.7K]

The Populist Party wanted to push several issues at the time in the 1890s in the United States.  

1. Free Silver--one of their biggest platforms was to change the currency to free silver to make it more affordable for the average person to use, instead of having money backed up by the gold standard.

2. Eight hour workday--They wanted to have workers and laborers be given an eight hour workday to give workers better working conditions than what they currently faced.

3. Income tax--They wanted to have a federal income tax (which later becomes the 16th Amendment) to have different taxes for people based on their income, or how much money they would make.  So essentially, a very wealthy person would have higher taxes than a poor person.

4. Regulation of the railroad--They wanted the government to regulate the railroad instead of the big businesses regulating the railroad and coming up with the prices.  The farmers especially felt as though it was not fair to allow the business owners to set the prices.

The Populist Party was essentially called the People's Party because they wanted to better represent and recognize the common people in government.
