1920 Congress

The 1920 Congress, referring to the United States Congress elected in 1920, was marked by a Republican majority focused on returning to "normalcy" after World War I. Key issues included reducing government intervention in the economy, limiting immigration, and supporting isolationist policies. The Congress passed laws like the Emergency Quota Act, which restricted immigration, and acted to strengthen economic growth by lowering tariffs. It also saw the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles secondarily, as the U.S. Senate declined to approve the treaty ending WWI. Overall, the 1920 Congress aimed to stabilize the nation and promote a period of economic prosperity and conservative policies.
