Answer:

B: He wanted to protect the working class by giving them more power.

Explanation:

"The aims and objects of this organization shall be to put the working class in possession of the economic power, the means of life, in control of the machinery of production and distribution, without regard to capitalist masters.”

Without any background information, it is time for me to analyze!

First off, Bill states that "the aims and objects of this organization shall be put to the working class.. of the economic power... without regard to capitalist masters." The specific line "without regard to capitalist masters" would lead me to eliminate the second to last choice.

I'm going to eliminate the last choice as well because I can't find any text evidence to support it.

Let's look at the first line- "The aims and objects of this organization... to put the working class in possession of the economic power... means of life [and] control of the machinery of production and distribution..." This excerpt supports the second option. While at first the first option may sound considerable, it says *businesses*, while Bill talks about the working class.

So that leads me to believe the answer is B: "He wanted to protect the working class by giving them more power."

b I think I hope it is good luck!
