The Square Deal legislation was a series of domestic programs and policies introduced by the 26th US President, Theodore Roosevelt, between 1901 and 1909. This legislation aimed to improve the working and living conditions of ordinary Americans, and tackled problems like economic inequality, monopolies, and corruption in business and politics. Some of the most notable laws and policies included in the Square Deal were the Pure Food and Drug Act, the Hepburn Act, the Newlands Reclamation Act, and the establishment of the US Forest Service. The Square Deal marked a significant shift towards progressive politics in the United States and helped to shape the country's modern regulatory environment.
