A wedge issue is a political or social problem with a controversial nature. It divides a demographic or population group. They´re often used to weaken the unity of a population. In cases of a racial wedge, it refers to the intent to separate population groups attending to their ethnic group.

For example:

George W. Bush’s presidential campaign was in danger in February of 2000. John McCain had just scored an unexpected victory in New Hampshire, and his candidacy tended to triumph in numbers.

The Bush campaign was fighting to survive, so members of the political section start using a racial wedge for political gain.

South Carolina voters started suggesting that McCain’s adopted daughter from Bangladesh was really a <em>Negro </em>child he fathered out of his marriage. By the end, Bush scored a primary victory.

How did president theodore roosevelt's "square deal" epitomize the notion that the federal government should serve as a steward
Zepler [3.9K]
Let me handle your first question -- always good to do one question at a time here.  :-)

Prior to President Theodore Roosevelt, those who preceded him in federal government had tended to side with industry leaders, expecting laborers to fall in line and do the work for the good of the companies.  In 1902, when there was a particularly tense strike by coal workers, Roosevelt invited both sides (labor leaders and management leaders) to the White House to negotiate. This was an example of the way he saw the role of government leadership as "steward" to the nation, mediating on behalf of everyone's interests, not just the interests of a powerful small group.  His "Square Deal" policies were aimed at making things fair and square for the general public.  An example of this would be how much land was set aside under his administration as national forests, national parks, national monuments, etc. He was seeking to protect the use of the land for all Americans' interests, rather than letting corporations tear into any land or forest they wanted in order to grab natural resources.
