Essay: Which president-Roosevelt, Taft, or Wilson- had the most lasting impact on the major progressive issues at the turn of the 20th century? Explain your choice. Think About: use of the bully pulpit trustbusting legislation health and safety issues conservation of natural resources progress toward civil rights for all citizens.
Roosevelt was the most effective in using the bully pulpit to bring about needed reforms. He aggressively used the Sherman Antitrust Act to protect the public from the power of monopolies. He regulated the coal mining industry and the railroads. He also brought about many improvements in public health through the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act. He aggressively sought to conserve the nation's natural resources through legislation such as the National Reclamation Act. Roosevelt even represented the new Progressive Party in the election of 1912. Many of the items on the platform of the Progressive Party that year eventually became the law of the land. Taft was not as effective in championing progressive causes. He signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff, which progressives considered a weak compromise. He fired the conservationist Gifford Pinchot, head of the U.S Forest Service. Taft failed to win the support of Progressives and lost the election of 1912 decisively. Wilson pleased progressives with the Clayton Antitrust Act and the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC continues to have a prominent role in government supervision of business. Wilson also established the Federal Reserve System, which is vital to the success and safety of our current banking system. None of the three presidents did much to further the cause of civil rights for African Americans
Susan B. Anthony a. discovered a new comet b. leader in the women's suffrage movement c. first American woman to earn a professional degree d. first American woman elected to a national political office
b. leader in the women's suffrage movement
How did the political reforms of the Progressive Era affect the way government functions today? Explain your answer. Think about the following a. responsibility of government b. Initiative, referendum and recall c. the 17th Amendment (direct election of U.S. Senators)
Today, the government is responsible for what happens after a natural disaster, like setting relief efforts and aiding the victims. This was started in the Progressive Era after a hurricane hit and the government set up relief aid. The government today was also changed by the government regulation in the Progressive Era. During Roosevelt's presidency, many Acts passed that made the U.S. a healthy and better place. The Meat Inspection Act provided cleaner production so food would not become contaminated. The Pure Food and Drug Act halted shipping of contaminated food. Both the Elkins and the Hepburn Act were also passed during Roosevelt's presidency. The Elkins Act made it illegal for railroad officials to give rebates for railroad companies. The Hepburn Act gave the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to set maximum railroad rates. It also gave the government regulation of business.
