Progressive Party

The Progressive Party was a political movement in the United States that arose in the early 20th century, advocating for reforms to address social and economic issues. It aimed to promote government regulation of big business, improve working conditions, and expand democracy through measures like women's suffrage. The most notable version existed in the 1910s and 1920s, with figures like Theodore Roosevelt running under its banner. The party sought to make government more responsive and accountable, focusing on social justice and fairness. Though it eventually dissolved, its ideas influenced subsequent reform efforts and progressive policies.
