In the 19th century the government had little to do with the economy. They refused to control most businesses. They helped some with agriculture, and gave some financial support to companies building railroads. The federal reserve was founded in the early 19th century, but as the 20th century approached many more regulations were set in place. Large groups formed and this increased a large growth in the economy but the government had little to do with it.
I am not sure what the others thought about it (for example Kahlo and Rivera were communists, so they likely believed it too!)
but a very good answer is <span>B. David Alfaro Siqueiros, since he was very opened about this view, stating it many times. </span>
The third alternative is correct (C).
<u>Both the Wall of China and the Silk Road represented, in their respective periods, the political power of China as a nation.
</u>
<u>The Great Wall</u> crosses mountains and rivers and is considered one of the great wonders of the world. Many of the stones used in its construction measure more than two meters and its weight exceeds one ton. The main reason for its construction was the desire to defend itself against the attacks of the nomadic peoples of the north, but also was used to transfer people and armaments at great speed from one side to another, demonstrating the technological character of the work.
<u>The Silk Road</u> was a series of commercial and cultural transmission routes that were central to the cultural interaction between the West and the East. Silk was certainly China's main trade item, but many other goods were also marketed. These routes allowed the development of strong commercial relations of the Chinese empire with Persia, India and the Roman Empire.
Although Athens had a "direct democracy" instead of a representative one like in the US, the main similarity was that the citizens were in control of the "direction" and policies of the state, since they could control what legislation was passed.
