Why did albert beveridge feel that the united states needed to hold onto the philippines as a colony

There are a lot of possible reasons why Beveridge wanted to hold on to the Philippines as a colony or so to say impose imperialism over Philippines. Some say, that his primary objective was to gain economic profit as well as his belief, which was somehow racist, over the supremacy of the Anglo- Saxon. Another was, he also argued that if US had the control over Philippines, this would give US businesses the vast opportunities to trade in the Pacific, especially in China.  Beveridge also pushed the idea that Filipinos are barbarous and cannot govern themselves. Along with these, he justified that the Americans were the chosen ones by God among all nations of the Anglo- Saxon to lead in the world’s regeneration. 

character development is the internal change an individual, a fictional one in this case, undergoes through the course of a story as a result of the conflict or conflicts that person encounters. options 1,2 and 5 don't offer much of this since they mostly just describe the momentary actions and reactions of edna pontellier. in kate chopin's the awakening we first meet edna as someone in a sort of semi-conscious state and completely unaware of her own feelings and ambitions. as the story progresses she becomes more self aware of these ambitions and gaining also the confidence to act on them on quotes 3 and (mostly on) 4 we begin to see these changes on her.
