The correct answer is D) People were concerned about what groups were influencing politicians through their contributions.

The main force behind these campaign reforms was that people were concerned about what groups were influencing politicians through their contributions.

In 1972, Congress passed the Federal Election Campaign Act. This act requires political candidates to reveal the sources of their campaign contributions. The DISCLOSE Act of 2010 was proposed to adjust the Federal Election Campaign Act to limit sources of campaign contributions and require candidates to share even more information with the public.

Those acts were enacted because the American citizens were worried about the source of that amount of money that was being used for political campaigns. It was very important to know who is behind those contributions in order to avoid the presence of personal agendas or powerful business with agendas that want to promote a specific candidate. Nobody wanted another political machine such as Tammany Hall or another Boss Tweed, that could corrupt the government.

Japanese occupation weakened european and american colonial establishments. What was going on at this time, before the outbreak
hichkok12 [17]

Japan needed more land to feed its people, it turned to war for this. When they started attacking small nations no one was too worried. Then they went for bigger areas and the United States retaliated. It is said the U.S.A did nothing to stop Japan at the beginning, but they did. The United States embargoed Japan, this made even more complications in the Japanese empire. Japan later went on to attack Pearl Harbor and the Philippines as a result. Keep in mind, the only reason America embargoed japan was due to their aggressive expansion.

I hope I have been of assistance. Have a great day! :)
