They sought to reform government, improve labor conditions, promote social justice, and enhance public health and education. Progressives aimed to expand democracy through measures like women's suffrage and the direct election of Senators, while also advocating for regulatory policies to curb corporate power and corruption.

Progressives and populists differed primarily in their focus and approach to reform. Progressives, emerging in the early 20th century, concentrated on addressing social issues, urban reforms, and improving government efficiency through expert-led solutions, often targeting urban elites and corporations. In contrast, populists, active primarily in the late 19th century, emphasized the concerns of rural farmers and laborers, advocating for direct political action against what they perceived as the corrupt influence of big business and elites. While both movements sought to empower the disenfranchised, their strategies and constituencies were distinct.
