From the Paper
"1904 saw Theodore's Roosevelt's election to a second time - another validation of his policies and attitudes as he had never actually been elected to the office. The second term saw the beginning of the actual construction of the Panama Canal. Roosevelt had negotiated the treaty in 1903, overseeing the creation of an independent Republic of Panama. The treaty was forced on Colombia. In keeping with his firmly-held belief that he was only bringing inevitable progress, he had denounced Colombia's leaders as the "cutthroats and blackmailers of Bogota," and that nation's president as "Pithecanthropoid" - the last an aptly scientific-sounding insult from a man who did so much to urge America onto the path of conservation. Social Darwinism was evidently the prelude to direct management of nature. The Panama Canal gave the United States control of a strategic sea route that linked the Atlantic (through the Caribbean Sea) and Pacific Oceans. Roosevelt's second term saw a continued push to project American power and influence. The Great White Fleet made its world tour from December 1907 to February 1909."

Abstract
The paper discusses the real effect of the assassination of President McKinley. The paper examines how Theodore Roosevelt entered the White House after three decades during which Congress had consistently had the upper hand over the President. The paper further examines his many accomplishments, of which the Panama Canal is considered very important; and although Congress wasn't always on his side when it came to building the canal, Roosevelt used his charm, his brains, and his presidential power to push it through.

From the Paper
"On matters of foreign policy, Roosevelt was both aggressively expansionistic and cautiously temperate, depending on the situation. He was given to occasional bombast; according to an article in Naval History by James R. Homes, Roosevelt once told a Naval War College audience that "No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war." Roosevelt's geopolitical views "aligned to a great extent" with Read Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, Homes explains, and Mahan believed that in order to "wrest away" America's "rightful share of foreign commerce," the U.S. would need "a battle fleet able to 'fight, with reasonable chances of success, the largest force likely to be brought against it'.""

From the Paper
"Although somewhat enchanted with teaching as a career, Theodore soon became a candidate for the 21st Assembly district and served in three sessions between 1882 and 1884. On October 27, 1880, he married Alice Hathaway Lee who died four years later following the birth of daughter Alice Lee. At twenty-six, Theodore became a delegate to the Chicago Republican National Convention and soon after wrote six more books, one being The Winning of the West in 1889. On December 2, 1886, he married Edith Kermit Carow and soon became a prominent supporter of Republican ideals.
In May of 1889, President Harrison made Roosevelt a civil service commissioner in Washington, where he learned the inner workings of the capital. His new political philosophy was then addressed in American Ideals and Other Essays (1897) and always maintained that his greatest wish as a politician was to "keep out the crooks in Washington and protect the competent and the common man" (Mowry, 78)."

From the Paper
"What was demonstrated by Roosevelt here is that his military charisma made Wilson look as though he were not strong enough to lead the nation into war. In other words, the nation was ready to fight and Roosevelt represented a more true relation with the desires of the common man. The sub attacks by the Germans were considered as cowardly and barbaric which infuriated American citizens."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in the selected articles, both authors argue parallel, albeit different, views regarding Roosevelt. It looks at how Burton argues that Roosevelt had Darwinist views when it came to social reform in the world. In contrast, it shows how Oyos argues that a great, powerful, and prepared military is the cornerstone of a country's might and useful when spreading the foreign policy and how Roosevelt was the first president to think consistently about the link between military technology, national military power, and foreign policy.

From the Paper
"As President of the United States between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt, while being one of the most ambitious political figures in American history, was also extremely influential, both culturally and socially, and reflected the times in which he lived as no other President. His political beliefs and attitudes, both progressive and conservative, shaped many domestic and international events which took place in the early 1890's and into the opening years of the 20th century."

Abstract
The paper discusses the main domestic problems facing the U.S, as well as the expansionist policy in effect before Roosevelt took over as President. The paper explains how Roosevelt was influential in initiating progressive labor laws in the areas of child protection and workers compensation. The paper notes Roosevelt's staunch support of "Manifest Destiny," which appointed the U.S. as the sole protector of all the lands in the western hemisphere and emphasizes the role he played as a dedicated environmentalist.

From the Paper
"Of all the positive attributes associated with Theodore Roosevelt, his viewpoint on the role of American citizens in national and international affairs is most powerful and worth defending. Roosevelt once remarked that no one has the right to devote their entire lives to making money. He once said to a fervent admirer that "a man wields tremendous power for good or for evil. . . the public has built up for you a personality; now give that personality to whatever interest you. . . in your neighborhood, your city or your state," a declaration very similar in nature to that of President Kennedy in 1960 and surely effective in today's world considering America's involvement in global affairs. Thus, Theodore Roosevelt certainly brought about widespread and effective change, not only in America but also on a world scale that has yet to be matched by any U.S. President."

Abstract
This paper examines how Theodore Roosevelt played a role in expanding the president's powers (prerogative powers), especially in the international arena. It analyzes the various methods TR used to expand his office's powers, including fear tactics, executive agreements, appealing to the public during press conferences and a lot of good public relations so that his words spoke much louder than his actions.

From the Paper
"One of Roosevelt's (self-proclaimed) major accomplishments was making the building of the Panama Canal possible. In 1903, the government of Colombia refused to ratify an agreement to permit the US to begin construction of a canal. Roosevelt wasn't going to give up on the canal and he even considered simply taking possession of the isthmus with the help of the military. Instead, he took a less drastic, though still outrageous, route - he encouraged Panama to secede from Colombia, and ordered the US navy to prevent Colombian warships from putting down the revolt. Roosevelt then promptly recognized the new nation of Panama, and negotiated an agreement with the new country that granted the US a zone in which to construct a canal. Roosevelt's actions with Colombia excluded Congress from its constitutionally assigned responsibilities in matters of war and peace. And they also increased the president's power in foreign matters."
