Question 10 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

What do most progressives tend to believe?

Answer
A
Economic and political rights should be expanded for all American citizens.
B
Most taxes paid by American citizens should be reduced drastically.
C
American embassies and military bases in foreign countries should be closed.
D
Many government functions would be performed better by private businesses.

Explanation

Progressives generally support using government and public policy to promote equality and broaden people’s rights and opportunities. Expanding economic and political rights for all American citizens best matches that view. Drastically cutting taxes, closing overseas bases, and shifting government functions to private businesses are not defining progressive beliefs.
