b) Theodore Roosevelt

President Theodore Roosevelt’s ‘Square Deal’ was a domestic program that focused on consumer protection, control of corporations, and conservation of natural resources. Implemented in the early 20th century, the Square Deal aimed to ensure that all Americans, regardless of social class, received a fair chance to succeed. This policy marked a shift from the laissez-faire approach of previous administrations to a more active government role in the economy. Key achievements under this policy included the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act, both of which laid the groundwork for modern consumer protection laws. Roosevelt’s Square Deal represented a significant step in progressive reform.
