Explanation:

Progressive Era refers to social and political reforms in the United States in the 1920s. Their main objective was to remove many obstacles on the way of Industrialization, Urbanization, and Immigration, by introducing new concepts and theories like socialism, mercantilism, capitalism, etc.

Progressives fought against modernization, large corporations, and corruption. Therefore, they wanted to establish an effective government, by requiring full commands over public affairs and a stable administration.

They also fought for the expansion of democratic rights and regulation of businesses, by breaking trust and monopolies to motivate competition in the marketplace.
