Which event was most influential in the rise of a more active national government? a. the civil war b. the great depression c. the war of 1812 d. world war i e. the cold war?

b. the great depression

Explanation:

Although all the events mentioned led to greater intervention by the States, we can affirm that the great depression was the one that caused the greatest intervention of the State in the lives of the people.

Due to the economic breakdown the State had to take care of all the people and to do this counted on all the powers of the nation.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
