Which of the following was a result of the women's christian temperance union (the wctu) achieving their major progressive goal? child labor decreased in urban areas. women gained the right to vote. unemployment rates decreased throughout the country. the purchase and sale of alcohol was made illegal.

 The purchase and sale of alcohol was made illegal.

The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was organized in 1873 and held its first national convention in 1874.  It was devoted to the cause of "temperance," which in general means moderation in regard to eating and drinking, and specifically tends to refer to staying away from drinking alcohol.  The group had other issues of social reform they wanted to see enacted, but their main concern was addressing alcohol consumption.  The WCTU played a significant role in bringing about the 18th Amendment to the Constitution in the US, which prohibited the production and sale of alcoholic beverages.   The 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919 ... but was later overturned by the 21st Amendment, in 1933.

hr2520 is the patient's act. there is required the secretary of health to summon a committee to develop a national strategic plan of prevention. this committee has forth provisions that make possible for the govern entities to acquire private health insurance services.

is easier to keep this hr2520 as federal, because that way the secretary of health has centralized power to deal with private insurance companies and the federas government has more ways and power to negotiate with them, than doing this process state by state in their specific terms.
