Question

which of the following did progressives believe would improve government?
○ passing measures in support of monopolies
○ passing measures to limit states’ involvement
○ passing measures to limit immigration
○ passing measures to increase citizen participation

Explanation:

Progressives aimed to reform government and make it more democratic. Supporting monopolies (first option) went against their anti - corporate - abuse stance. Limiting states' involvement (second option) was not a Progressive goal as they sought more effective governance at various levels. Limiting immigration (third option) was more of a nativist stance, not a core Progressive belief. Progressives believed in increasing citizen participation (like through initiatives, referendums, etc.) to improve government.

Answer:

D. passing measures to increase citizen participation
