Both had a savage and an alien population; both were more remote from the seat of government when they came under our dominion than the Philippines are to-day. Will you say by your vote that American ability to govern has decayed; that a century's experience in self-rule has failed of a result? Will you affirm by your vote that you are an infidel to American power and practical sense? Or will you say that ours is the blood of government; ours the heart of dominion; ours the brain and genius of administration? Will you remember that we do but what our fathers did—we but pitch the tents of liberty farther westward, farther southward—we only continue the march of the flag? —Albert Beveridge, "The March of the Flag," Indianapolis, September 16, 1898 The policy advocated by Beveridge foreshadowed which of the following? | The rise of the United States to the status of a great power | A period of growing isolationism | A period of laissez-faire economics | Growing support for constitutional strict constructionism | A | A: The rise of the United States to the status of a great power |
