Question

1. select three reform proposals for improving the federal budget process.

balanced budget amendment
replacing the progressive tax system with a flat tax
granting the president the power of the line - item veto
placing a limit on annual increases in expenditures
increase tariffs on imports
ordering the treasury to print more currency

Explanation:

The question asks for three reforms targeting the federal budget process. A balanced budget amendment enforces fiscal discipline by requiring balanced spending and revenue. Granting the line-item veto lets the President remove specific spending items without rejecting entire bills, improving budget precision. Limiting annual expenditure increases controls spending growth directly. These three focus on budget process rules, while others (e.g., flat tax, tariffs, printing currency) relate to tax policy, trade, or monetary actions, not the budget process itself.

Answer:

A. balanced budget amendment, C. granting the President the power of the line-item veto, D. placing a limit on annual increases in expenditures
