Why did the Republican Party split during Taft’s administration and into the election of 1912?

How did the Clayton Antitrust Act benefit the economy during the Progressive Era?

Answer 1

1.) In a variety of delegations, Taft advocates maneuvered to replace Roosevelt delegates with Taft delegates. Republican Progressives declined to vote and founded the Democratic Party, a new third party. Roosevelt was nominated for President.

2.) Strikes, peaceful picketing, boycotts, and collecting strike benefits were all made legal.
