The quote below was written by a social darwinist in the late 1800s:

"the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, [but] it is best for the race, because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department."

"based on this quote, how might social darwinists respond to the immigration restrictions of the late 1800s and early 1900s? "

b. they would have condemned immigration restrictions because they supported equality among people from every race and religious background.

c. they would have supported immigration restrictions because they considered immigrants an inferior class and a barrier to healthy competition.

d. they would have condemned immigration restrictions because they believed that every person was capable of achieving success.
