"The present system has enabled capitalists to make laws in their own interests to the injury and oppression of the workers.
It has made the name Democracy, for which our forefathers fought and died, a mockery and a shadow, by giving to property an unproportionate [unequal] amount of representation and control over Legislation.
It has enabled capitalists ...to secure government aid, inland grants and money loans, to selfish railroad corporations, who, by monopolizing the means of transportation are enabled to swindle [cheat] both the producer and the consumer..."

The withdrawal of federal troops after Reconstruction allowed southern states to enact Jim Crow Laws, institutionalizing racial discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer to Question 11:

The social problem described by the Workingmen's Party of Illinois is B. capitalists making too many laws to benefit themselves. The workers felt that the democratic process had been compromised by the influence of capitalists who were able to enact legislation in their favor. This concern was indicative of the larger progressive movement's mission to address inequality and restore democratic principles that were being overshadowed by corporate interests.

Answer to Question 17:

The correct answer to the excerpt provided is the D. 17th Amendment. This amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed during the Progressive Era as part of the broader campaign to make the government more responsive to the will of the people, and it shifted the election of Senators from being chosen by state legislatures to be directly elected by the people.

Answer to Question 19:

The removal of federal troops after Reconstruction changed the South by A. allowing racial discrimination to be institutionalized with the passage of Jim Crow Laws.
