Progressive movement believed that government should take an effective measure in solving the social and political problems caused by the industrialization in America.

Step-by-step explanation:

Progressives fought against the Big corporations which were considered to be ruthless, They also struggled to combat the evils of child labor. poor working conditions, health and safety, squalid living conditions, the rights of women and minority groups, unfair business practices and consumer protection were also considered to be the main agenda of the progressive movements.

They also fought for the better working conditions and also the decrease of working hours of the labors.
