Answer:

A living wage is defined as the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet his or her basic needs. This is not the same as a subsistence wage, which refers to a biological minimum. Needs are defined to include food, housing, and other essential needs such as clothing.

The Gilded Age also was characterized by social reform, such as women's suffrage, workplace improvements, prohibition, and civil service changes. Women were politically active and played a large role in the economy, both as workers and consumers.

Answer:

It would be Seperation of powers

Explanation:

Separation of powers, division of the legislative, executive, and judicial functions of government among separate and independent bodies. Such a separation, it has been argued, limits the possibility of arbitrary excesses by government, since the sanction of all three branches is required for the making, executing, and administering of laws.

Answer:

The alliance system, which were the triple alliance formed by Germany,Italy and Austria-Hungary and the Triple Entente formed by UK,France and Russia.

The alliance system had caused great suspicion among the nations, as the alliance system was meant to be kept secret. The nations would be wary that they were to start war as they found backups for themselves.

It also support a nation's will to start a war as they would have back up, this urged WWI to happen.For example, with the support of Germany (blank cheque) Austria-Hungary sent an ultimatum to Serbia,which was impossible for Serbia to fulfill, finally lead to the outburst of WWI.
