## Step 1<br />The first step in solving this problem is to understand the context of the excerpt. The excerpt is from Jane Addams' "Why Women Should Vote," published in 1910. In this excerpt, Addams is arguing for women's suffrage, which is the right for women to vote.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Next, we need to understand the ideals that the excerpt reflects. The excerpt discusses the importance of women's role in society, particularly in the context of urban development and the welfare of children. This aligns with the principles of Progressivism, which was a reform movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that sought to address the social and political issues caused by industrialization.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Finally, we compare the ideals expressed in the excerpt with the options provided. The excerpt does not discuss the expansion of territories (Expansionism), the rights of individual states (States' rights), or the preservation of traditional institutions and values (Conservatism). Therefore, the ideals expressed in the excerpt most clearly reflect the ideals of Progressivism.
