To determine which legislation the poster is most closely related to, it's important to know the implications and historical context of each act:
A. The Dawes Act (1887) aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting them individual plots of land and selling off surplus land to white settlers.
B. The Hatch Act (1939) restricts political activities of federal employees to ensure the integrity of the government and prevent political corruption.
C. The Volstead Act (1919) provided for the enforcement of Prohibition, making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcoholic beverages.
D. The Pendleton Act (1883) established a merit-based system for federal employment and aimed to reduce corruption by requiring government positions to be awarded based on merit rather than political affiliation.
Without knowing the specific content of the poster, the best match can be inferred based on its focus. If the poster deals with topics related to land use, Native American rights, or assimilation, it would point to the Dawes Act. If it addresses political corruption or employment practices, it would relate to the Pendleton Act. If it focuses on Prohibition, then the Volstead Act would be relevant, while the Hatch Act would relate to political activities of federal employees.
If you can provide a description or theme from the poster, I can help narrow it down further. Otherwise, based on historical relevance, if the theme relates to government reform, the Pendleton Act might be the most fitting choice.
