Populist and Socialist Movements in Oklahoma

Question 2 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

What was the main goal of the Socialist Party?

Answer

to establish social and economic equality among the races in Oklahoma

to prohibit the sale, production, and consumption of alcohol in the United States

to put the control and ownership of economic production in the hands of the people

to expand corporate power in the banking and farming industries

Explanation

The Socialist Party’s main goal was to shift control and ownership of production—such as workplaces and industries—from private owners to the people. This matches choice C, “to put the control and ownership of economic production in the hands of the people.” Prohibition was associated with temperance movements, not the central goal of the Socialist Party.
