Creating a defensive buffer
<u>Original Question:</u><u><em> Which were some of the goals of the progressive movement?</em></u>
<u>Answer: Choice (B)</u> or <u>To improve living and working conditions for workers</u>
<u></u>
<em />
<em>Reason:</em>
- <em>Choice (A) is incorrect because the progressive movement actually focused on giving the government a little more power over the big business that set up a monopoly on their respective industry, to ensure that the companies had fair practices meant to create fair competition in each industry</em>
- <em>Choice (B) is correct because progressivism actually focused on improving worker's conditions by establishing labor laws that tightened controls on 'big businesses to ensure that they gave safe working conditions to their workers</em>
- <em>Choice (C) is incorrect because progressivism didn't so much focus on the economy, it more focused on dissolving monopolies</em>
- <em>Choice (D) is incorrect because progressivism was more focused on the internal side of the US, and not so much on their foreign interaction</em>
