    Leaders of the women's suffrage movement included all these EXCEPT

    • Susan B. Anthony

    • Elizabeth Cady Stanton

    • Maria Mitchell

    • Lucy Stone

    Correct Answer
    A. Maria Mitchell
    Explanation
    Maria Mitchell was not a leader of the women's suffrage movement. She was a notable American astronomer and the first professional female astronomer in the United States. While she was a pioneer in her field and an advocate for women's education, she did not actively participate in the women's suffrage movement. The other three individuals mentioned, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucy Stone, were prominent leaders and activists in the fight for women's right to vote.

    With Taft's presidency, the Republican Party

    • Became unified

    • Lost power

    • Split

    • Became Progressive

    Correct Answer
    A. Split
    Explanation
    During Taft's presidency, the Republican Party experienced a split. This refers to the division within the party, where different factions emerged with differing ideologies and priorities. This split occurred due to disagreements over various issues, such as tariffs and conservation policies. The split ultimately weakened the party and led to a decline in its power and influence.

    Results of the 1912 election showed the people wanted

    • The Bull Moose Party

    • The Republican Party

    • More conservatism

    • Reform

    Correct Answer
    A. Reform
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "reform" because the results of the 1912 election indicated that the majority of people desired change and improvements in the political system. They were looking for progressive reforms and a break from the traditional conservative policies. This is evident from the rise and popularity of the Bull Moose Party, which was founded by Theodore Roosevelt and advocated for progressive reforms. The Republican Party, on the other hand, represented more conservative ideals and did not align with the desire for change expressed by the people in this election.

    Wilson's progressivism was limited by his failure to institute

    • Social reform

    • Political reform

    • Economic stability

    • Sufficient federal revenue

    Correct Answer
    A. Social reform
    Explanation
    Wilson's progressivism was limited by his failure to institute social reform. This means that although Wilson aimed to bring about positive changes in society, he was unable to effectively implement policies or initiatives that would address social issues and improve the overall well-being of the population. This limitation hindered Wilson's ability to fully achieve his progressive goals and make significant advancements in areas such as labor rights, women's suffrage, and racial equality. Without meaningful social reform, Wilson's progressivism remained incomplete and fell short of its intended impact.
