The period in the history of the United States from the first two decades of the twentieth century is generally referred to as the Progressive Period, an age of profound social and political reform intended to make progress in society by significant changes in American economics and politics. Three major issues are discussed below:

Urbanization: Urban cities were congested with crowded streets, poor sanitation services, and prone to industrial pollution.

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people.
