  1. The Rise of Progressivism

  2. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

  3. Questions to Ponder • What were the common elements of the progressive movement? Do you agree with the historians who believe the term Progressivism "ceased to mean anything at all"? • How would you characterize the role of women in the progressive movement? What changes led male Progressives to welcome women's contributions to their cause? • How did the moral components of progressivism relate to the movement's efforts to change the political process? Was progressivism primarily a moral movement?
