William Howard Taft's approach to governance emphasized legalism and a strict interpretation of the Constitution, focusing on the rule of law and regulatory reform without the expansive state intervention characteristic of Theodore Roosevelt's New Nationalism. Roosevelt advocated for a more active government role in regulating the economy and addressing social issues, promoting the idea of a "square deal" that prioritized social justice and economic fairness. While both presidents aimed to address corporate power and promote social welfare, Taft's presidency leaned more towards conservative, incremental reforms, contrasting with Roosevelt's progressive and assertive policies. This divergence contributed to tensions between their respective factions within the Republican Party, ultimately leading to a split in the 1912 election.
