The quote below was part of a campaign speech given by Senator Albert J. Beveridge in 1898: "But today we are raising more than we can consume. Today we are making more than we can use. Today our industrial society is congested; there are more workers than there is work; there is more capital than there is investment. We do not need more money—we need more circulation, more employment. Therefore, we must find new markets for our produce, new occupation for our capital, new work for our labor." Which type of policy was this statement intended to justify?

The correct answer is imperialism.

Imperialism is when one country tries to extend its power over another country or territory. This can be done through warfare or the signing of treaties/agreements. The quote by Beveridge is discussing how American society is producing more goods than its ever produced and that the US needs to expand its power and influence over other countries. This would allow the excess goods and services to be sold to new consumers, generating more profits for business owners.
