The correct answer is: Progressivism could best be described as a political ideology that assumes government exists in order to improve society. One of the main progressist ideas is that social and historical progress are unavoidable and human conditions is seen positively, as if it has improved and will keep up improving in future.
<em>seeks out new and better ways of managing government</em>. This option is wrong because the principal aim of progressivism is human perfectibility, which could be reach by scientific, moral and economics improvement, so progressist had faith and valued democracy and direct participation of the voters. In the book Progressive Democracy, Croly says, we believe “in the people to govern directly, without need of intermediary institutions”. As tyranny of minority and representatives were a big problem democracy was seen as the better way of managing government.
<em>stresses traditional approaches to issues in government</em>. This option is wrong because some progressist viewed the traditions and old ways of living, as well the classes system and the privileged aristocracy as a barrier for the progress, which then should pass through reforms.
<em>values individual freedom over government involvement</em>. Individual freedom is an absolute value in progressivism and many times the constitutional limits on government were seen as an obstacle for the human nature progress, however progressist saw that in some moments the government needs to interfere and regulates things, such as industries or railways to attend citizen’s needs.
Not positive, but I believe the answer is A because the wsr of 2812 was also known as the French and Indian war. If this is for a grade, do not use this answer unless you know it is correct.

In elitist theory power is seen as concentrated amongst a few groups or individuals, including the government. Elitist theory would suggest that only a few major pressure/interest groups, such as the NRA or AARP, actually have any influence, and that even they struggle to gain power because it is concentrated in the hands of a few members of government.
Democracy is a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting. In a direct democracy, the citizens as a whole form a governing body and vote directly on each issue. In a representative democracy the citizens elect representatives from among themselves.
