Teddy Roosevelt and the Square Deal, Teddy loved to fight against people who didn?t have America?s best interest in mind. Teddy Roosevelt also came up with the pure food and drug act which meant that all food required labeling of the food or drugs ingredients to forbid any unknown ingredients.
Women?s suffrage was another great thing that happened during the progressive era. Alice Paul urged that women be give the franchise which also come on the same level as the 19th amendment. The 19th amendment was that women the full voting rights. Also this era proposed an amendment barring discrimination on the base of gender.
