Abstract
Throughout most of the 18th and 19th centuries Congress jealously guarded its legislative powers. But as the nation moved from an agrarian to an industrial society, stronger presidential leadership became necessary. Woodrow Wilson viewed the president as the person responsible for articulating the people's agenda. A decade later Franklin D. Roosevelt carried Wilson's premise further, reorganizing the executive and appointing heads of temporary New Deal agencies. As leader of the Democratic Party he also controlled the policy agenda that Congress would pursue.
