Annika latitudes of fundamentalist Christian very conservative but yet wanting to do major reforms in the United States government in the Progressive Era so we can go through each one of these ideas PhD Professor president Princeton president of Princeton he was a professor in history if I'm not mistaken or political science he goes into politics after he was president of Princeton in the early teens becomes governor of New Jersey me runs for president his program called New Freedom he wanted to end Russian you wanted to regulate trusts big business he wanted to destroy Monopoly these are all Progressive programs at Theodore Roosevelt had already advocated but it's going to be much more active much more radical in his use of the government to regulate the truss he he wanted to lower the Tariff again that's going to be a Democrat view your helping Farmers but also making good deeper that's one of his for foreshadowing of advocacy because that's the standard today generally is lowering tariffs until we get to this president who goes against 60 year of development Trends anyway that's another issue in the Federal Reserve which is very important of Federal Trade Commission regulating Play It Again in the in the United States created in support of the Clayton Antitrust Act which is a new more invigorated Sherman Antitrust Act again railroad regulation very similar to tr Elkins Hepburn acts Meat Inspection Act Pure Food and Drug all of those will be supported by Tiara and then Wilson will be the Clayton Antitrust Federal Trade Commission Federal Reserve System federal income tax the 17th 18th the 16th 17th 18th and 19th amendments again against Federal Reserve this is kind of complicated with the Federal Reserve tries to manage the supply of money we just had them lowered interest rates just recently you know they manage the money supply in the United States it's much more complicated I need to draw it out for you but let me see if I can't figure out how to do it so prohibition Social Gospel all of these things are going to be around during Administration but let's go to the his words let's go to the Chart so again some basic elements I would have you make sure that you know what do you get a hit uses big Ideas regulating the truss regulating the economy trying to manage the economic cycle against child labor wants to regulate big business wants to help workers and then mower diplomacy which we're going to do when we get to World War 1 next week he's president for 2 terms 19 to 1920 again one thing that's significant about his 1912 election remember he was running against Taft and running against ER and it's a three-party race basically is the Republicans get split and he ends up uniting the Democratic party and he wins the 1912 election we talked about that when does bull moose Etc with TR political science Professor president of Princeton governor of New Jersey for only 2 years again he was a reformer. mentally as a reformer who wants to use the government to improve American society and then again to two terms United States President he was an idealist he was a Puritan he was mising he was one of the most intellectual he's considered a modern president because he is driving the party he's determining what direction the party's going in and she had a fundamental you know aggressive government intervention to solve problems program his program again is called New Freedom and you got to know all of you know tr's first Administration call the Square Deal is Bull Moose Party with New Nationalism what's the name Wilson's New Freedom you're going to have any of the New Deal by FDR the fair lights room in you're going to have the New Frontier with JFK the Great Society with LBJ so every slogan in a really makes a difference here so paid those slogans if you want to get points for the AP again anti-terror regulation of banks expanding credit all of these basic ideas again why do we want to regulate the trust because we want increase competition again Adam Smith says competition is good it helps society that helps the consumer until he's always advocating in competition these are not competition and they have undue influence on the government also so Wilson wants to reduce all of those undemocratic unequal in special interest elements out of our government again special interest is bad everyone says that freedom of opportunity he supports regulation of working conditions these are all government institution legalization of Union to go he will be the the trend in the 20th century Democrats will support unions generally Republicans will criticize unions generally regulation unions the labor movement labor movement health and safety Ahi it one big big thing in in please get this down cuz this is part of the theme of course is that he does not support civil right he's from the south he's racist you support of the Klu Klux Klan and when he before he was president and again the Klu Klux Klan is going to be a national movement the alter the twenties so he is this again criticism of the progressive they didn't do much didn't do anything that I'm aware I really for civil rights they are not doing much at all some laws the lower tariff so if it's a tariff related to Wilson it's going to be a low tariff okay cool so again reducing tariffs income tax that the 16th 17th 18th and 19th Amendment you got to memorize those income tax 16 direct election of senators 17 prohibition 18 and 19 is the most important one because of corsets women's vote speaking of the Nineteenth Amendment isn't it it's Saint Patty's Day happy Saint Patty's Day don't the water you'll have to take a break anyhow so if you want to know a little about the first income tax there she is 1% that 3% if you made a hundred thousand or more that's called a graduated Federal Reserve what system is there was a way to draw can I hand it painting I don't know how to do this so there's no way I can draw on this may be my I'll have to get view any suggestions it's not take time out of that the Federal Reserve is very important Federal Reserve Act rates Federal Reserve so they can Infuse money into the economy I wish there was a way I could draw on this oh well where were you so interest find interest rates things of that nature that can be part of it we're breaking down here on this stupid drawing think so he's just a few of these so Federal Reserve Act 1 child labor keating-owen bill an example of him wanting to end child labor the important later is going to be knocked down as unconstitutional by the right-wing Supreme Court managing the Trust Federal Trade Commission again to watch the trusts I'm sure nobody really thinks about that one too much but the idea is you need to find exam when they say what would he do that was so Progressive and again uses government intervention managing the Trust Federal Trade Commission Clayton Antitrust Act oh if you can just remember a few of these main ideas again this is just like the Sherman and he gets it past and he enforces it again FTR dispatch Wilson does it this much he goes all the way and enforces these Antitrust Act and Etc much more aggressively than PRS and you should let it all always a good comparison TR and Wilson can't imagine anyone still listening to me if you listening after I don't know how long this is I'm about 10 minutes then you should let me know that you're going through it so other things help for the farmers workman's compensation oh my God can you believe that you get hurt on the job you don't just starve eight-hour workday for railroad workers think the railroads like that so I think you've got a lot of elements here that if you can remember just a few of them Federal Reserve Clayton Antitrust Federal Trade Commission Interstate Commerce Commission again all these were regulating trade regulating Commerce in the United those would be great form policy I want to I want to skip foreign policy right now and want to go down to some of his commentaries quotes to skip down Wilson quotes this is from a book some guy named Clements and actually we're going to take a break real quick so we're going to start on Words Wilson's words when we come back thank you
