During the progressive era reforms such as the Pure Drug and Food Act, the Nineteenth Amendment, and the process to better the public education are just some of changes the helped ordinary people.
The pure Drug and Food Act banned medicines that were not scientifically tested from being sold and caused restaurants and factories to be more cautious with their factories. Products became much more healthier.
The nineteenth amendment allowed any U.S. citizen that was 18 years and old to vote. This allowed ordinary women the chance to be apart of the countries decisions, which was women's suffrage
The change in public education brought upon the idea of high schools and it was an era when teaching styles changed. Before the progressive reforms students had various teachers throughout the year because of their lack of training, but the reforms allowed colleges to specifically train teacher to educate the ordinary civilians.
