Question

question 1 (1 point) the initiative petition, recall, and referendum all aimed to do what? a) break up business trusts b) increase direct democracy c) allow for the construction of more tenements d) conserve more land for national parks e) unsure

Explanation:

The initiative, petition, recall, and referendum are Progressive Era reforms aimed at increasing direct democracy. These processes allow citizens to have more direct involvement in law - making and governance (initiative: propose laws; referendum: vote on laws; recall: remove elected officials). Option a is about breaking trusts (antitrust, not related to these processes). Option c is about tenement construction (related to housing, not these democratic processes). Option d is about national parks (conservation, not related). Option e is incorrect as the purpose is clear.

Answer:

b) increase direct democracy
