Answer 2

2. increasing the power of voters over the political process

Step-by-step explanation:

The Progressive movement was a movement that happened between 1900-1920 that aimed to have a response to the problems that were created by the industrialization. The main idea of the Progressive movement was that several reforms should be done so the people had greater control of the government because during that time the government was very corrupt. For that, they created the idea of initiative, referendum, and recall election so the people had more participation in the political process.
