Question

Which of the following demands would be part of an accurate summary of the goals of the Progressive Era?(1 point) Responses weakening the federal government weakening the federal government loosening environmental protections loosening environmental protections ending monopolies ending monopolies stopping women’s suffrage

Answer 1

An accurate summary of the goals of the Progressive Era would include the demand for ending monopolies. The Progressive Era, which spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s, focused on addressing issues caused by industrialization, urbanization, and corruption in government, including the regulation of big businesses and monopolies. Other goals included social reforms, labor rights, and women's suffrage. The other options listed (weakening federal government, loosening environmental protections, and stopping women’s suffrage) do not accurately reflect the core objectives of the Progressive movement.
