Progressivism -The Domestication of Socialism –
Theodore Roosevelt launched the Progressive Era. It was a time marked by a more dominant role of the executive branch of government. Unlike Washington and Jefferson who believed that the role of the federal government was limited by the Constitution, Roosevelt believed that the executive branch of government was responsible to lead the nation in all areas and that he could assume all powers not specifically retained by the states. His was a vast departure from the original intent of the Founding Fathers. In reality, he opened the door to a socialistic philosophy that would lead to the welfare state.
