Answer: C. Massive investments in equipment were necessary to make mining profitable

Explanation:

After the California Gold Rush of 1829, more and more deposits were discovered in the west of different resources and precious minerals such as gold in Colorado and silver in Nevada.

The prospect of making money from mining was so attractive that thousands of Americans traveled west in the hope of getting rich. Upon getting there however, the prospective miners would quickly discover that mining was no easy task as in the case of gold which was hidden deep in quartz that was underground and so would require massive investment in equipment to get to it.

For this reason, companies came to dominate the mining scene because individuals could rarely afford such expensive machinery.

Monarchy

Constitutional Monarchy

Dictatorship

Explanation:

Democracy - A type of government where government authority is based on people’s consent

Constitutional Monarchy: A government w/ a monarch as head of state and a parliament or other legislature that makes the laws. (modern)

Absolute Monarchy: the monarch exercises ultimate governing authority as head of state and head of government; his or her powers are NOT LIMITED by a constitution or by the law. (traditional)
