The Progressive Party, also known as the Bull Moose Party, was formed in the early 20th century in the United States, primarily as a response to the perceived failures of the two major political parties to address social and economic issues. Founded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 after a split in the Republican Party, it aimed to promote progressive reforms such as women's suffrage, labor rights, and the regulation of monopolies. The party sought to empower the government to act in the public interest and to curb corporate influence in politics. Its creation reflected a growing demand for change and greater democracy during the Progressive Era.
