The correct answers are

1) Labor reform- The Progressive era resulted in the development of laws/protections for workers in several different industries. These laws included concepts such as minimum wage, maximum number of hours a person could work per week, improved working/safety conditions, etc.

2) Format of elections- Many states during this era passed Progressive laws that allowed for citizens to have a more direct influence on state laws. Some states instituted procedures like initiatives, referendums, and recalls as a way to implement forms of direct democracy.
