Essay Instructions: Woodrow Wilson has been called an American missionary, a prophet, the high priest of Pax Americana. His presidency is one of extremes, from being "too proud to fight" to making the "world safe for democracy." He is America in the 20th century, a symbol of all that is noble and ignoble. He preached the gospel of democracy and, in the end, was defeated by democracy. He is the American Icarus. Using the book, Woodrow Wilson: Revolution, War and Peace, by Arthur S. Link as a resource, explain how Wilson exemplified the ideals of neutrality, expansionism and exceptionalism. Why is Wilson ann icon for what is right and wrong with America?
(Please let me know if you are able to write this paper ASAP. I sent it to another service and they did not answer the question. They focused on Wilson as president of Princeton University and not as president of the United States. If you do not have a copy of the book but are able to write an essay answering the question I will insert references from the book. Thank you).

Essay Instructions: This era's three presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, and Woodrow Wilson, presided over a federal government beginning to assert its power to regulate the national economy, tax citizens directly, legislate social policies for the protection of the relatively poor and powerless, and involve the U. S. as a great power in the conduct of international politics. Two of those presidents, Roosevelt and Wilson, also began to define the twentieth-century presidency as the source of legislative initiative, the head of a vastly expanded federal bureaucracy empowered to enforce regulations of its own making, and an office willing to push the constitutional limits of its authority.

Explain and discuss how Wilson and Roosevelt changed the role of the presidency in legislative initiatives and how they made the presidency more powerful during their terms in office.
