Answer:
Republicans were opponents of progressives.
Step-by-step explanation:
The new president, Warren G. Harding, urged voters to end both international commitments and the ideas of the progressives. He announced: Today's America does not need heroism, but healing; not a stunning panacea for all ills, but the norm; not revolution, but restoration; not excitement, but adaptation; not urgent surgery, but calm; not boiling passions, but balance; not reckless immersion in the abyss of internationalism, but successful sailing along the waves of national unity.
The attitude of the progressives on the active intervention of the government in the affairs of the nation was disputed by the Republicans. Government organizations, Harding argued, are not able to solve social problems, for "it is impossible to cure all the diseases of mankind with the help of laws." No legislative acts, even the most numerous ones, “can replace a quality citizenship.” Harding promoted a political system in which "citizens do not expect help from the country, but seek to do something for their government and the country as a whole."
