theordore roosevelt took a stand against big corporations and those who would waste Environmental resources, using his governmental Authority to mitigate social impropriety. He accomplished this with his domestic policy known as the square deal, which was based on three ideas: Conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection.
"When I say that I am for the square deal, I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service." -Theodore roosevelt
