A number of extractive industries - timber, oil, coal, and uranium - went through their principal booms and busts after 1890.... Any number of conflicts and dilemmas, stirred up in the nineteenth century, remained to haunt Westerners in the twentieth century. Conflicts over water use, public lands, boom/bust economies, local authority versus federal authority, relations between Mexico and the United States (as well as between Mexican Americans and Anglos), and Indian land... - most of the issues that had agitated the nineteenth century West continued to stir things up a century later." -- Patricia Nelson Limerick, historian, Something in the Soil: Legacies and Reckonings in the New West, 2000 Which of the following developments contributed most directly to the trend in the 1890s described in the excerpt?
“As its preаmble prоmised, the Cоnstitutiоn would ‘ensure domestic trаnquility’ by аllowing the federal government to field an army powerful enough to suppress rebellions like those that had flared up in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and other states. Even more important, the Constitution would ‘establish justice’ by preventing the state assemblies from adopting relief measures that screened their citizens from either their Continental taxes or their private debts. . . . Excoriating [harshly criticizing] the legislatures for collecting too little money from taxpayers, the bondholders and their sympathizers noted with approval that the Constitution would take the business of collecting federal taxes away from the states and place it firmly in the hands of a powerful new national government.”-- Woody Holton, historian, “‘From the Labours of Others’: The War Bonds Controversy and the Origins of the Constitution in New England,” William and Mary Quarterly, 2004 Which of the following issues did the framers of the United States Constitution most directly address?
“Fоrmerly the individuаl wаs the piоneer оf civilizаtion; now, the railroad is the pioneer, and the individual follows, or is only slightly in advance. . . . The wild roses are blooming today, and the sod is yet unturned . . . where, in a year or two will be heard the screech of the locomotive and the tramp of the approaching legions, another year will bring the beginning of the change; towns and cities will spring into existence, and the steam whistle and the noise of saws and hammers, and the click and clatter of machinery, the sound of industry will be heard.

If women have in any sense been responsible for the gentler side of life which softens and blurs some of its harsher conditions, may they not have a duty to perform in our American cities? . . . [I]f woman would fulfill her traditional responsibility to her own children; if she would educate and protect from danger factory children who must find their recreation on the street . . . then she must bring herself to the use of the ballot—that latest implement for self-government.”-- Jane Addams, “Why Women Should Vote,” Ladies’ Home Journal, 1910 The concerns Addams raises in the excerpt were most directly a reaction to which of the following?
