<span>Because there were limited sources of power, industrial development during the early 1700s was initially slow. Textile mills, heavy machinery and the pumping of coal mines all depended heavily on old technologies of power: waterwheels, windmills and horsepower were usually the only sources available. Changes in steam technology, however, began to change the situation. As early as 1712 Thomas Newcomen first unveiled his steam-driven piston engine, which allowed the more efficient pumping of deep mines. Steam engines improved rapidly as the century advanced, and were put to greater and greater use. More efficient and powerful engines were employed in coalmines, textile mills and dozens of other heavy industries. On the other hand, spinning of cotton into threads for weaving into cloth had traditionally taken place in the homes of textile workers.</span>

How has the growth of the federal government changed the process of constituent advocacy

tester [92]

A constituent is a person who authorizes another to act in his or her behalf, as a voter in a district represented by an elected official.

Advocacy is the backing, or promotion of something or someone; public support for or recommendation of a particular cause or policy.

The growth of the federal government began with the Presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. To help combat the Great Depression, Roosevelt developed his "New Deal Plan" that widened government jobs and updated existing ones. The United States emerging as a military power after World War II also had an effect on the federal government. The government widening has had an effect on how government officials gain constituent support on this new wide variety of leaders through not only phone calls, in person meetings, and letters, but also through technology such as paid radio and television advertisements, news-broadcasts and press conferences, email, and social media. Through technological advances, federal government growth has the power to reach wider audiences.

List two actions that Theodore Roosevelt took as president that reflected his Square Deal ideas.

OLga [1]

President Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal was based on providing a "fair" society in which all citizens could benefit. Within this Square Deal, he focused on protecting the consumer and controlling corporations.

One action he took to protect the consumers was passing the Meat Inspection Act. After the book <em>The Jungle </em> was produced, Roosevelt became aware of the unsanitary working conditions of the meat packing industry. These unsanitary methods resulted in rotten food that made thousands of Americans sick. The law passed by Roosevelt resulted in federal regulation of the meat packing industry.

Another action taken by Roosevelt was taking different corporations to court in order to break up trusts. During the course of his presidency, Roosevelt took on thirty different companies that, in his mind, were acting like monopolies by manipulating a certain part of the market.
