		The United States has a broad range of climates, varying from the tropical rain-forest of Hawaii and the tropical savanna of S Florida (where the Everglades are found) to the subarctic and tundra climates of Alaska.
		The Congress of the United States, the legislative branch, is bicameral and consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
		Progressivism was partly a mode of thought, as witnessed by the progressive education program of John Dewey; as such it was a pragmatic attempt to mold modern institutions for the benefit of all.

	Progressivism in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some argue that Progressivism in the United States can best be differentiated from liberalism in two major ways.
		Media voices for the Progressive Movement in the United States include Barbara Ehrenreich, Al Franken, Amy Goodman, Thom Hartmann, Jim Hightower, Molly Ivins, Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Miller, Mike Malloy, Randi Rhodes, Betsy Rosenberg, and Ed Schultz.
		In the United States, the term progressive was first applied to politics in the Progressive Era of the early 20th Century, at which time politicians of both the Democratic and Republican parties (see Theodore Roosevelt, Bull-Moose Republicans, and the United States Progressive Party) began to pursue social, environmental, political, and economic reforms.

	Progressivism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Progressivism is a political philosophy whose adherents promote public policies that they believe would lead to positive social change.
		Progressivism may also mean preferring moderate change, as opposed to minimal or maximum change.
		Implicit in the word "progressivism" is the assumption that the policies advocated by progressives are a form of progress.

	After Progress
		It was impossible to demand military service of (male) subjects, extend the reach of modern administration and the rudimentary welfare state, limit and gradually reduce the privileges of local corporations and of the residues of aristocracy, extend universal schooling, without recourse to the idea of full membership in a nation.
		In the United States, where citizenship was not a problem for white males (including immigrants of five years of residence), labor struggles and strikes so increased in violence toward the end of the century that many of the propertied feared revolution.
		Progressivism was a moralizing as well as technocratic response to the destructiveness of capitalism—an effort to canalize its immense productive powers for a version of the common good derived in part from Social Protestantism, in part from older notions of republicanism.

	Edward J. Dodson / Daniel J. Boorstin's The Lost World of Thomas Jefferson
		What they wanted, in fact, was a return to the state of privilege that had existed during the era of salutary neglect so rudely interrupted by the demands of conservatives in Parliament that Britain's colonial subjects ought to share some of the cost of their defense.
		In equalitarian and democratic societies, and especially in the United States..., there has been a dangerous readiness to transform the principle of majority rule, which is a political necessity, into a philosophical credo; and to confuse the dictates of public opinion with the voice of the individual conscience.
		In Boorstin's eyes as well, the state had assumed itself equal to the Creator assumed itself to be beyond the realm of natural law, and was well along the road toward a tyranny of the professional bureaucrat and terminal politician.

		The second is the Wilsonian vision of the United States as vindicator, as the champion of democracy and human rights, and the engine of progressive change around the world.
		The idea was to ameliorate conflict between states by building up precedents in international law, and by providing legal mechanisms (such as a league of nations and a world court) to facilitate the arbitration of disputes and the enforcement of decisions.
		As the United States moves ahead, the primary question it will face is, "To what extent will the United States try to promote human rights abroad, and to what extent will it subject itself to the scrutiny of international human rights?" The record seems mixed.

	Essay: The Promise of Equality and Justice for All
		Less than a decade after the United States Supreme Court had declared that no African-American could ever be considered a citizen of the United States, the first fls were elected to the Congress, as well as to the legislatures of the several southern states.
		When the United States' entry into World War II seemed an inevitability, the African-American labor leader A. Philip Randolph threatened a demonstration in the nation's capital to protest unjust treatment at home.
		Alabama's state courts prohibited protest, and in April, 1963, King was arrested in Birmingham for engaging in a nonviolent march.

	Orals Reading Notes: Struggles for Justice, Alan Dawley
		According to Dawley, progressivism, an ideology which "focused on government regulation of predatory private interests for the sake of the public interest," was never just a smokescreen for capitalist machinations.
		Moreover, in Dawley's rendering, a more grievous flaw in the fabric of progressivism ultimately lay in its central tenet, the idea of utilizing the federal government to protect the "public interest" from the machinations of private interests.
		Auguring the calls currently resounding through the academy for a more Atlantic-based approach to the study of the United States, Dawley attempts a side-by-side comparison of American and Germany throughout his narrative.

		Police misconduct, as is well known, was a major concern of the municipal reformers whose battle with the political machine was the centerpiece of urban Progressivism in the United States.
		In New York, the so-called "system" of police corruption conjured up by reformers was absolutely indispensable to the not inconsiderable success they had in weakening the Tammany machine between 1900 and World War I. This oft-told tale remains standard among historians regardless of whether they are sympathetic to the reformers or the machine.
		In this paper I will argue that there were alternative reform constructions of the police problem, that the controversy between these approaches generated an explicit politics of criminal law reform in Progressive New York, and that its resolution - rather than the problem itself - shaped the future of law enforcement.

	H-Net Review: Ballard Campbell on America in the Progressive Era, 1890-1914
		Government in the United States was purposefully and conspicuously a non-centralized affair, nested within a federal system.
		This arrangement allotted a major responsibility for governance to the forty-five state governments and 16,000 cities, counties, and localities that exercised general political authority in 1900.
		These subnational units of governments, which were staffed by literally hundreds of thousands of men and women, managed important public functions, such as education, criminal justice, economic assistance, and social welfare.

	Extended Phenotype: Book #39: Jeffrey Issac, The Poverty of Progressivism
		Jeffrey Issac's 2003 book, The Poverty of Progressivism, is a sobering but realistic look at why a progressive majority will be difficult to rebuild in the United States.
		Issac's argument for a "chastened" progressivism resonated strongly with me because it echoed a great deal of the historical research I've been doing lately.
		This difference alone is enough to support Issac’s pessimistic outlook for progressivism in the United States, but it’s not the only or most important difference.

		This news coupled with the news from earlier this week that stated that labor productivity has reached an all time high and that jobless claims have reached the lowest levels since 1999.
		Clearly, the economy is running at full steam creating jobs in the United States of America, and helping the world pull out of recession with the exception of socialists’ nations such as Canada, which has seen an increase in their unemployment rate over the last year.
		The failure of the American left to understand the mentality of the average American is leading to their decline.
