Final answer:

Many of the statements about U.S. government spending, taxation, and historical impacts are false, with key exceptions such as the growth of federal spending and the social and economic changes brought by the market revolution, which are true. Voting rates in the U.S. are lower than in countries like Sweden and South Korea.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original statement about the music business spending in North America compared to the rest of the world doesn't provide a clear true or false answer without specific data. However, I can address the reference statements provided.

  • Voting rates in the United States are generally lower than in many other democratic industrialized countries, such as Sweden and South Korea, so the answer is False.
  • The market revolution indeed brought significant social and economic changes to the United States, making this statement True.
  • The Louisiana Purchase did indeed double the territory of the United States, so this statement is also True.

Regarding the various statements about federal spending, taxes, and other aspects of the U.S. government:

  • Federal spending has grown substantially in recent decades: True.
  • The U.S. government doesn't control a large share of the U.S. economy by world standards, so this is False.
  • A majority of federal revenue comes from personal income taxes: True.
  • Education spending is predominantly at the state and local level rather than the federal, making this False.
  • State and local government spending has increased, making this False.
  • Defense spending is not higher now than ever when adjusted for inflation, so this statement is False.
  • The share of the economy going to federal taxes has not necessarily increased substantially over time, so this could be seen as False.
  • Foreign aid is a small portion of federal spending, making this statement False.

The notion of separate spheres and the Cult of Domesticity did contribute to class distinctions, so this is True.
