Wilson Biography 

 

 

Wilson believed that the wall separating the executive and legislative branches of government was a hindrance to programs that would benefit the entire nation. He tried to work closely with Congress, especially with members of his own party.

 

Wilson, a strong progressive, attempted to free national politics from the grips of entrenched party machines and became a strong -- though not highly effective -- advocate of the primary process. 

 

He entered the White House as a reformer. Although he disagreed with Theodore Roosevelt on several matters of policy, Wilson admired the way in which TR had used an aggressive style of leadership to champion certain causes.
