the progressive-inspired city-manager system of government...?

Question

a. brought democracy to urban dwellers
b. was developed in Wisconsin
c. was designed to remove politics from municipal administration
d. made giant strides under the leadership of Hiram Johnson
e. opened urban politics to new immigrants

Answer 1

The answer would be C, because:

The Manager is responsible to the Commission/Council for the proper conduct of all city activities under the direction of the office, providing information and advice, and making recommendations. The Manager is the Commission's technical advisor and consultant, but only the Commission can make laws and establish policies. Thus, the burden for political leadership falls squarely on the Commission. City manager government insures a greater degree of separation between "politics" and administration, than is found in other forms of government, at the same time increasing the control of the elected governing body over all aspects of municipal affairs.
