The Progressives made government regulation of the business sector a part of the platform after the depression of the 1890s. Both President Theodore Roosevelt and President Woodrow Wilson started to heavily enforce the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 when they came to power in 1901 and 1913 respectively. This stood in stark contrast to the late nineteenth century practice of laissez-faire, where the government did not interfere with the economy.
