Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A".

A regressive tax is BEST defined as a rate of tax that falls as income rises.

Explanation:

Within economic theory there are two concepts to classify taxes, according to their relationship with the taxpayer's income: progressive and regressive taxes.

Regressive taxes are collected in a smaller percentage as income increases. They represent a greater burden for individuals of low socioeconomic status. In other words, regressive taxes are those that affect the poor relatively more than the rich. Therefore, they do not have a redistribution effect of wealth. On the contrary, if they are very high they can accentuate inequality in a society.

To understand the operation of this type of tax, it is important to keep in mind that citizens who earn less are required to spend a greater part of their salary, mainly on essential goods such as food. That is, their savings are less or non-existent.

How did the role of women during World War I affect the suffragist movement?
Sav [38]

Answer:

I think option c is correct.

Explanation:

Liberty?” Thus exclaimed one of the signs protesters held in front of the White House gates in February 1917. Women’s fight for the right to vote was in its final years, but in the heavy sacrifice and a changing understanding of the meaning of democracy the war brought, the movement had found a renewed energy and enthusiasm during World War I. Female protesters initially faced a cordial but outwardly uninterested reception from President Woodrow WIlson, but they were persistent. The protest lasted until November of that year, resulting in many women arrested and jailed for their efforts.
