Answer 1

Answer:

Powerful and privileged Americans benefited from all of the above.

Explanation:

Although these progressive movements brought some benefits to lower class Americans, all of these also benefitted powerful and privileged Americans. Immigration restriction appealed to the desire of controlling the population of the country. Settlement houses allowed poorer people to be taken off the streets, making life for comfortable for privileged classes. Prohibition allowed the incarceration of those who traded liquor, and reduces the number of establishments where this was allowed, appealing to elite morals. Finally, direct democracy increased their access to political participation.
