Question 7 • (Galli)WCA 2220 US History II 4th nine weeks 25-26

Which best describes what occurred following the passage of the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916?

Answer
A
The act stopped all factories from hiring child workers.
B
The act stopped most factories from hiring child workers.
C
The act was not signed by the president.
D
The act was later overturned by the Supreme Court.

Explanation

The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916 restricted the interstate sale of goods made by children, but it did not remain in effect. In 1918, the Supreme Court overturned it in Hammer v. Dagenhart, ruling that Congress could not use its power over interstate commerce in this way. So the best choice is “The act was later overturned by the Supreme Court.”
