1) authorizing a federal tax on incomes
2) providing for election of u.s. senators by the people, not the state legislatures
3) giving women the right to vote
4) establishing a two-term limit on the u.s. president

Answer 1

Option (4), The amendment not from the Progressive Era is the one establishing a two-term limit for the U.S. presidency, which is the Twenty-Second Amendment added in 1951.

Step-by-step explanation:

The constitutional amendment that was not from the Progressive Era is the one establishing a two-term limit on the U.S. president. This amendment is the Twenty-Second Amendment, which was added in 1951, long after the Progressive Era. The Progressive Era amendments include the Sixteenth Amendment authorizing a federal income tax, the Seventeenth Amendment regarding the direct election of U.S. senators, and the Nineteenth Amendment granting women the right to vote.

The Twenty-Second Amendment was passed after Franklin Roosevelt was elected for four terms, breaking the informal two-term tradition set by George Washington.
