Which of the following issues caused roosevelt to seek a “square deal” for the environment in 1900? oil drilling strip mining deforestation climate change

The correct answer is deforestation.

Deforestation is the process of clearing a forest in order to make the land useful for a different purpose (like the building of a factory). Teddy Roosevelt, an advocate for conservation of natural resources, saw this deforestation process as a significant problem. This is why he develops the idea of a "Square Deal." This square deal included the idea of conservation of natural resources. This results in Teddy Roosevelet developing the national park services to protect these types of lands.

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
