  7. “It was clear to me that the only way to beat boss and ring rule was to keep the people thoroughly informed. Machine control is based upon misrepresentation and ignorance. Democracy is based upon knowledge. It is of first importance that the people shall know about their government and the work of their public servants.” According to the excerpt, Robert La Follette believed that the public should • be informed of government activities. • have no say in who gets elected to office. • be aware of the activities of private business. • have no say regarding laws that affect private business.

  8. What is the most likely reason a muckraker would publish this photo? To show the effects of urban political machines To show poor people how the rest of society lived To show the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions of tenements To increase nativism towards new immigrants

  9. It is also vandalism wantonly to destroy or to permit the destruction of what is beautiful in nature, whether it be a cliff, a forest, or a species of mammal or bird. Here in the United States we turn our rivers and streams into sewers and dumping-grounds, we pollute the air, we destroy forests, and exterminate fishes, birds and mammals—not to speak of vulgarizing charming landscapes with hideous advertisements. But at last it looks as if our people [are] awakening. What action did President Roosevelt take to support this statement? A He set monetary fines for businesses that polluted the environment. B He established federal guidelines for pollution levels. C He outlawed tourism on federal lands. D He designated several areas as national parks and monuments.

  10. The women in this photograph are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to rally for what issue? A .women’s suffrage B. minimum wage laws C. temperance D. worker’s rights

  11. In the last resort the only hope is in the moral forces which can be summoned to the rescue…. If a new tide of religious faith and moral enthusiasm creates new standards of duty and a new capacity for self-sacrifice…a regenerate nation will look with the eyes of youth across the fields of the future…. It will depend almost wholly on the moral forces which the Christian nations can bring to the fighting line against wrong, and the fighting energy of those moral forces will again depend on the degree to which they are inspired by religious faith and enthusiasm. Based on this excerpt, Rauschenbusch took which approach to progressive reform? • encouraging a return to religious ideals to correct social problems • exposing poor working conditions to enflame public sentiment • establishing charity programs to help new immigrants • lobbying the government for legislation to address social problems
