Answer: Robert M. LaFollette

Explanation: Robert Marion La Follette (June 14, 1855 – June 18, 1925) was an American lawyer and politician. He represented Wisconsin in both chambers of Congress and served as the 20th Governor of Wisconsin from 1901 to 1906. Upon taking office, La Follette called for an ambitious reform agenda, with his two top priorities being the implementation of primary elections and a reform of the state's tax system, both of which the state legislature enacted in 1902.

His tax reforms were especially notable as the new tax law, which required railroads to pay taxes based on property owned rather than profits, resulted in railroads paying nearly double the amount of taxes they had paid before the enactment of the law.

He was a candidate during the 1924 presidential elections but lost to the incumbent republican president, Calvin Coolidge.

After Hitler took charge of the German economy, women and Jews_________.
NeX [460]

Answer: C. were forced out of work

Explanation:

When Hitler took power in Germany, his Nazi party engaged in anti-Semitic propaganda that blamed Germany's problems on Jews. Passing a series of laws, the Nazis forced the Jews from work and persecuted them in many more ways after.

Hitler believed that the job of women was to produce more Aryans for the German Fatherland and to nurture and care for their families. He believed that women working would reduce the chances of that so he forced them out of work too.
