Question

how did the louisiana constitution of 1913 reflect the spirit of the progressive era?
a it limited the power of the state supreme court.
b it extended voting rights to african americans.
c it clarified language from earlier documents.
d it included measures to bust trusts.

Explanation:

The Progressive Era was a period of reform in the United States. One of the main goals was to address problems caused by industrialization, such as the power of large corporations (trusts). The Louisiana Constitution of 1913 including measures to bust trusts aligns with the Progressive - Era spirit of reforming and regulating business.
Option A: Limiting the power of the state Supreme Court is not a typical Progressive - Era reform focus.
Option B: African - American voting rights were still highly restricted in 1913 Louisiana (and in many parts of the South), and this was not a Progressive - Era achievement in that context.
Option C: Clarifying language from earlier documents is a more administrative or technical task, not a Progressive - Era reform in the spirit of addressing social and economic ills.

Answer:

D. It included measures to bust trusts.
