Answer: d) assuring the welfare of the poor and unemployed

Explanation:

In the late 19th Century in the US, assuring the welfare of the poor and unemployed was never considered as a legitimate function of the federal government. Rather, by Presidential terms jobs are created through various private sectors and the eligible poor takes advantage of the available jobs created.
