progressivism  

Definition

  • Progressivism is the name of a political reform movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the United States. Often considered a reaction to conservatism in the Republican Party, and thus populism under another name, progressivism is better characterized as an effort to return American civilization to its natural law roots.
