Secondary-source excerpt (Progressives, 1890–1920): Progressives insisted that political democracy required economic fairness and basic consumer safety. Reformers pressed states to limit child labor, reduce workplace hazards, and compensate injured workers. At the federal level, they backed laws that strengthened oversight of meatpacking and patent medicines, arguing that informed consumers needed truthful labeling and sanitary conditions. These initiatives did not end industrial conflict, but they expanded expectations that government should protect the public from the worst abuses of the market.
