A third party in the late 1800s whose ideas were taken over by the major political parties and accepted by many Americans was the?
Known as the "Bull Moose Party" but formally the "Progressive Party," was formed by former-president Teddy Roosevelt when he was frozen out of the Republican presidential nomination in 1912. The platform's main theme was reversing the domination of politics by big business, which they claimed controlled the Republicans' and Democrats' parties, alike. The Progressive's platform called for:
- Strict limits and disclosure requirements on political campaign contributions
- Registration of lobbyists
- Recording and publication of all Congressional committee proceedings
- A National Health Service to include all existing government medical agencies.
- Social Insurance to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled
- A minimum wage for women
- An eight-hour workday
- A federal securities department
- Farm relief
- Worker's compensation for work-related injuries
- An inheritance tax
- A Constitutional amendment to allow a Federal income tax
Social Security, the Securities & Exchange Commission, Workman's comp, and a national minimum wage are a few of the platform issues that are in effect today.

Which group of Americans received greater political power including voting rights in the 1800s?
In the 1800s, white men, particularly those who owned property, received greater political power and voting rights compared to other groups. Reforms in the latter part of the century led to the expansion of suffrage primarily for white men, while women, African Americans, and Native Americans faced significant barriers to voting. The passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870 aimed to grant African American men the right to vote, but discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes continued to disenfranchise many. Overall, the political landscape of the 1800s largely favored white men.
