3. How were progressives successful in making government more responsive to its citizens?
A critical juncture in American history characterized by intense social and political transformation was signaled by the Progressive Era, which lasted from the late 19th to the early 20th century. In order to oppose the established power structures and promote societal improvement, a wave of reformist movements known as progressivism formed during this revolutionary period. The goal of progressive reform was to provide the government with greater accountability and responsiveness to the demands of the people. They sought to alter the entire structure of government in order to promote a more just and inclusive society. They achieved this through a multi pronged strategy that included labor, political, social, and regulatory changes in addition to notable support for women's suffrage and powerful muckraking media.
