The Progressive Era is considered from 1890 to 1920. The major role of the United States in global affairs during this period of time was its involvement in the war.
The military affairs of that time included the war with Spain, the war to conquer the Philippines and the entry into the First World War.
Until the beginning of the 20th. century, political affairs in the US used to follow Washington and Madison, guidelines of neutrality and nonintervention.
But in those times, European nations turned into imperialism, establishing colonies in different parts of the planet. Time passed by when Theodore Roosevelt, influenced by <em>The Influence of Sea Power Upon History</em>(written by Admiral Alfred Thayer in 1890), understood the potential of investing money in other countries, securing the interest of the U.S.
In the 1910-1920's, the United States government followed an intervention policy in the Caribbean and Central America, the Philippines and even President Wilson supported the Mexican revolution.
Porfirio Diaz was president of Mexico from 1884 to 1911, This was a time of great economic growth for Mexico, as the regime opened its doors to foreign investment, particularly in the mining sector. However, Diaz's policies promoted a strong centralized government, which would lead to an unequal focus on certain regions and economic activities of the country, leaving others exposed to impoverishment. The expropriation of peasants lands in favor of big enterprises enraged rural populations. Inequality among the regions and societies of urbanized areas was becoming more evident. This led to a series of manifestations against the government that would eventually lead to the end of the regime.
By the final constitution i'm assuming you mean the tenth amendment which is assigning all power not delegated to the United States, or prohibited to the states, to either the states or to the people.
I wouldn't have changed this because in england at that time all the power was to the king and the people didn't get to say on certain matters. Though if I had to make it I'd make it so women could vote, because back then the men get to do have all the power and it's not equal, so I would obviously include women and minorities into the people with power.

The most important role in the government for me is the president because if we have a horrible president (Donald Trump) then there's a lot of thing's that will go wrong inside the U.S, ranging from same sex marriage potentially being taken away, women's rights being in danger, ect. Having someone like that in the highest form of power over millions of people is uh- gross? You need someone who would actually care about the people and would do what's right, that's why this is the most important role.

The least important role in the government for me is the people in charge that abuse their power. Yes, this might not be a role inside the government but the fact that they keep people like this in power while knowing the abusive things they do, is disgusting.
