Which of the following statements best explains the trend shown in the data?
O State governments tend to be more responsive to social movements than the federal government because they
are able to test out new programs on a smaller scale.
O The growth of social media has enabled movements to accelerate the acceptance of social change at the state
level, because these activities are not as successful at the federal level.
O A social movement needs to be approved by a percentage of the states before the federal government will
consider acting on the change because of fear of angering the conservative electorate.
O The federal government refuses to use the federal courts to respond to social-reform movements.
