How did Woodrow Wilson demonstrate progressive ideals?

Answer 1

Wilson was a leading Progressive, arguing for a stronger central government and fighting for anti-trust legislation and labor rights. As President of the United States, he passed important legislation on those and many other issues, winning by a very small margin in the reelection in 1916 after saying he would keep America out of World War I. Wilson's Fourteen Points-a statement of national objectives that envisioned a new international order after World War I-ultimately failed, but was one of the clearest expressions of interventionist American values.

Wilson ran in 1912 under a platform known as the "New Freedom," in which he pledged to reintroduce real competition to the marketplace by destroying monopolistic economic trusts. In practice, however, his actions quickly came to look like the "regulated monopoly" of Republican candidate Theodore Roosevelt, and few trusts were dissolved during his tenure. Though he achieved passage of a 1914 measure to create a Federal Trade Commission, the regulatory body became co-opted by business interests just like the Interstate Commerce Commission before it. Wilson lowered the tariff, introduced the income tax, and instituted the Federal Reserve System to reform the national economy.

Answer 2

He had dreams that showed him magical signals which led him to do some magical things. He was a magical man with magical ideas. He was a fairy king in the kingdom of the lost island.
