The correct answer is A) Because all three candidates were Progressive, Progressive votes were split.
The election of 1912 was between Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, and William Howard Taft. All three of these individuals were progressives, even though Wilson technically in the Democratic party and Taft was part of the Republican party. This was a time period in which progressive ideas were extremely popular in all major political parties. Due to this fact, the progressive voters were torn on which candidate to pick. Ultimately, Wilson ends up winning the election of 1912.
The correct answer is A) serving a committee.
The best method for a Senator to have power in making legislation is serving on a committee.
The Senator needs to be part of a Committee in Congress so he/she can have more power, influence, and express its ideas to be known by other Senators, congressmen, government officials, the Media, and the public.
The Senator can be part of these committees: Committee on Budget, Committee on Agriculture Nutrition and Forestry, Committee on Armed Service, Committee on Environment and Public Works, Committee on Foreign Relations, among many others.
They probably want (a) but the real answer is neither.
