Question

Use the political cartoon to answer the question. What do the labeled bolts of cloth represent in the political cartoon?

 

a
American support for foreign immigration
 b
American noninterventionist beliefs
 c
American involvement in other countries
 d
American domestic economic policy
The image is a political cartoon depicting a large, well-dressed man, symbolizing the United States, wearing pants with stars and stripes that have various states and territories labeled on them, such as "Louisiana Purchase," "Florida," "Alaska," "California," "Texas," and "Hawaii." A tailor, labeled "M.K.," is measuring the man for further expansion. On the right side, shelves filled with folded fabrics are labeled "Enlightened Foreign Policy" and "Rational Expansion." In the background, three men are approaching with a large roll of fabric labeled "Canada," while another holds a smaller roll labeled "Philippines." They are standing outside a shop labeled "McKinley & Company National Tailors." The caption at the bottom reads: "DECLINED WITH THANKS. The Artist - 'Here, lady; these goods are the right style and very popular.' Uncle Sam (to a Smarty Boy Tailor) - 'No, my dear sir; they are the right size, and I see no need to be tight places.'" This cartoon is a commentary on the period of American expansionism, reflecting the nation's acquisition of new territories and the debate over further territorial expansion.
