The progressives advocated for various government reforms to address social and economic issues during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among the options provided, the one they did not advocate for was:
c.) deregulation of the railroads
The progressives were generally in favor of increased government intervention and regulation, especially in industries where they perceived abuses of power. They sought to address issues such as unfair business practices, corruption, and the negative impact of industrialization on workers and consumers. Therefore, the idea of deregulating the railroads would have contradicted their broader goals of promoting social and economic justice through government oversight.
