I need some help on this one
Umm I really don’t know I’m over guessing it
I think it’s B
To answer this question, we need to understand the information shown in the graphic organizer. The chart highlights key aspects of the Reform Movement, including the ideals of liberty and equality in the Declaration of Independence, the expansion of suffrage during the Jacksonian era, criticism of slavery and other injustices, the emphasis on free will during the Second Great Awakening, and the belief that individual salvation is the first step towards societal reform.
Now, let's analyze the answer choices:
A. The Reform Movement drew on ideals of individualism, equality, and salvation.
This choice accurately summarizes the information in the graphic organizer, as it mentions the ideals of individualism, equality, and salvation, which are all central themes of the Reform Movement.
B. In the 1800s, religion had more influence over Americans than the country's established political ideals.
This statement is not supported by the information in the graphic organizer. While religion, particularly the Second Great Awakening, played a significant role in the Reform Movement, it is incorrect to conclude that it had more influence than established political ideals.
C. The Jacksonian era is praised for expanding suffrage but criticized for violating civil rights.
While it is true that the Jacksonian era saw an expansion of suffrage, there is no specific mention of civil rights violations in the information provided in the graphic organizer. Therefore, this answer choice is not the best summary.
D. The Reform Movement during the 1800s was due to the desire of Americans to exercise their free will.
This answer choice accurately reflects the emphasis on free will during the Second Great Awakening as a motivation for the Reform Movement. However, it does not incorporate other important elements such as the ideals of individualism, equality, and salvation.
Based on the analysis, the best summary of the information shown in the graphic organizer is:
A. The Reform Movement drew on ideals of individualism, equality, and salvation.
