The view of a nineteenth century liberal is best represented by the belief that A. Wealth should be shared equally among all B. Class difference...

The best answer to this is
C.


In the 19th century, the meaning of the word "liberal"
was not really the same as its meaning today.  Today, a liberal would be someone who
believes things like D.  A liberal is a person who believes in more government
intervention into the economy.


By contrast, a liberal in
the 19th century was someone like Adam Smith who believed in more free trade and less
government regulation.  A liberal wanted people to be free to pursue their economic
interests instead of having to follow government rules about, for example, what could be
produced and where it could be sold.
