Final answer:
The option that is NOT a Progressive Era reform for increasing citizen participation in the democratic process is Prohibition. It focused on social reform, specifically the ban on alcohol, rather than electoral reforms like direct primary elections, women's suffrage, and municipal reforms. The correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which of the following is NOT an example of a Progressive Era reform that aimed to give everyday citizens a greater voice in the democratic process:
- Direct primary elections
- Women's suffrage
- Prohibition
- Municipal reforms
Among the listed options, Prohibition (C) is the correct answer. It did not aim to increase citizen participation in the electoral process but rather aimed to curb the sale and consumption of alcohol, which was a social rather than a democratic reform initiative. In contrast, direct primary elections, women's suffrage, and municipal reforms were all implemented to provide people a greater and more direct connection with their government and thereby increase their voice in democracy.
