Introduction

The political landscape of the United States has undergone significant transformations during various periods of its history. For this literature review, I will focus on the political developments during the early 20th century, specifically from 1900 to 1930, a transformative period characterized by progressive reforms, the rise of the administrative state, and the impact of the Great Depression. This era is pivotal in shaping modern American politics, notably through shifts toward greater federal intervention, reforms aimed at reducing corruption, and the evolving role of political parties and institutions. Understanding the academic discourse surrounding these themes will provide a comprehensive foundation for analyzing the political dynamics of this critical period in American history.
