Which of the following could be considered an argument for a bill of rights?
A. The new U. S. government was not centralized or powerful enough and so needed amendments outlining its power.
B. The original Constitution addressed civil liberties.
C. A clear list of specific protections was needed to guarantee those rights.
D. The theory of reserved powers that was inherent in the constitution implied that any power not written expressly was automatically a power reserved for the states.

C.

Explanation:

This is all about the government being very clear with what rights the people have. D is not very wrong but it only addresses the 10th amendment and it's not the true purpose of the bill of rights. Remember the bill of rights is the first 10 amendments, so think about what the amendments 1 to 9 give citizens.

Anyway I hope I helped.

the progressive era is a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the united states that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.

the movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. by taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. they also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation. at the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.a third theme was building an efficiency movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "taylorism".

hope this you! have a great day

roosevelt essentially took the opposite approach as hoover in taking on the great depression. herbert hoover thought that america and its economy could naturally recover from the depression in due course, so he adamantly restrained the federal government from intervening on behalf of the people affected. on the other hand, roosevelt dramatically increased employment by expanding the federal government and establishing agencies that would aid in relieving some of the country's worst problems.
