In what way was Gilded Age politics different from American politics today?

A) During the Gilded Age, the payment of dues to join a party was unheard of, and members tended to lack much loyalty to their party, often moving from one to the other.
B) During the Gilded Age, bribery in politics was nonexistent because the federal government had put strict rules and punishments in place to deter potential offenders.
C) During the Gilded Age, the role of the federal government far surpassed that of state governments due to the movement beyond sectional differences after the Civil War.
D) During the Gilded Age, there were few potential immigrant voters, which led organizers to focus solely on gaining the votes of long-established, aristocratic families.
E) During the Gilded Age, most political activity was focused on the state and local levels, with the federal government an insignificant force in the daily lives of most citizens.
