Answer 1

it not

Answer 2

do you have any choices that you're leaning towards?

Answer 3

it's definitely not D because they wanted the election of U.S. Senators to be a direct vote of the people.

"FIRST. We demand the election of President, Vice-President, and United States Senators by a direct vote of the people."

Answer 4

I don't think it's A because I'm pretty sure they don't talk about farmers in their demands.

Answer 5

it's not B because they wanted a graduated income tax.

"SEVENTH. We demand a graduated income tax to the end that aggregated wealth shall bear its just proportion of taxation, and we regard the recent decision of the Supreme Court relative to the Income Tax law as a misinterpretation of the Constitution and an invasion of the rightful powers of Congress over the subject of taxation."
