Discuss the election of 1912, and explain the difference between the New Nationalism and the New Freedom as presented by Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson during that campaign
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: When Taft received the Republican nomination, Theodore Roosevelt supported the creation of the Progressive party, thus splitting the Republican party and creating an opportunity for the Democrats to win with Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt called for increased government regulation to ensure the general welfare, while Wilson argued for a return to limited government and open competition, in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson. Roosevelt argued that it was necessary to use Hamiltonian principles of strong government to achieve Jeffersonian social justice goals.
