https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Era

From Wikipedia:

The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] The main objectives of the Progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. By taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. They also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

Many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation.[2] At the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.[3] A third theme was building an Efficiency Movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "Taylorism". The middle class was in charge for helping reform the Progressive Era, and they got stuck with all of the burdens of this reformation. In Michael McGerr's book A Fierce Discontent, Jane Addams stated that she believed in the necessity of "association" of stepping across the social boundaries of industrial America.[4]

Many activists joined efforts to reform local government, public education, medicine, finance, insurance, industry, railroads, churches, and many other areas. Progressives transformed, professionalized and made "scientific" the social sciences, especially history,[5] economics,[6] and political science.[7] In academic fields the day of the amateur author gave way to the research professor who published in the new scholarly journals and presses. The national political leaders included Republicans Theodore Roosevelt, Robert M. La Follette Sr., and Charles Evans Hughes and Democrats William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson and Al Smith. Leaders of the movement also existed far from presidential politics: Jane Addams, Grace Abbott, Edith Abbott and Sophonisba Breckinridge were among the most influential non-governmental Progressive Era reformers.

Initially the movement operated chiefly at local level, but later it expanded to state and national levels. Progressives drew support from the middle class, and supporters included many lawyers, teachers, physicians, ministers, and business people.[8] Some Progressives strongly supported scientific methods as applied to economics, government, industry, finance, medicine, schooling, theology, education, and even the family. They closely followed advances underway at the time in Western Europe[9] and adopted numerous policies, such as a major transformation of the banking system by creating the Federal Reserve System in 1913[10] and the arrival of cooperative banking in the US with the founding of the first credit union in 1908.[11] Reformers felt that old-fashioned ways meant waste and inefficiency, and eagerly sought out the "one best system".[12][13]

The 6 key elements of Magna Carta are described according to specific clause. These include the following: 
a. The first clause of Magna Carta guarantees the freedom of the English Church. This implies separation of church and government, so there will be no inclusion of church in politics or vice versa. 
b. Clause 13,  the city of London shall enjoy all its ancient liberties and free customs, both by land and by water. As an example, they have the right to choose its own mayor -- political freedom.
c. Clause 39, established the idea that people could only be judged according to the law, and that even the king himself had to follow the law. It stipulates that a person should be judged by a group of their equals (not by the king or his men). The same concept that someone isn't convicted unless found guilty on the court. 
d. Clause 40: “To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.” It ensures that nobody will be deprived of their rights, or have to pay for their rights, or be made to suffer by waiting for their rights. This should be a constant reminder for politicians or ay government body nowadays as well as for the future.
e. Clause 12, the king could not demand new taxes without first obtaining the approval of the key people in his kingdom. A country can get indecency using this clause, by not being under the control of other countries.  
f. Clause 61, the barons the right form a committee who would monitor the king and take action against him if he failed to honor his agreement to them and to the freemen of his kingdom. This is still existent nowadays as there are different bodies of the government, in which they must go hand in hand to do what is rightful.

HURRY IM BEING TIMED How did the Third Crusade lead to the Fourth Crusade?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The diversion of the Fourth Crusade from the Holy Land to attack, capture, and pillage the Byzantine city of Constantinople divided and dissipated the efforts of the Christians to maintain the war against the Muslims. It is widely regarded as a shocking betrayal of principles out of greed.
