The Progressive movement in the early 20th century sought to address issues of inequality and corruption through government, business, and social reforms led by Theodore Roosevelt. Reforms included giving citizens the right to elect senators, implementing an income tax, breaking up monopolies, establishing national parks and child labor laws, granting women's suffrage, and prohibiting alcohol with the 18th Amendment. Progressives aimed to curb the power of large businesses and wealthy interests while improving conditions for workers, families, and society.
