Question 13 • DRHS GA-GSE US History A

The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act

Answer
A
effectively ended child labor in the United States.
B
only banned child labor on farms, not in factories.
C
was struck down by the US Supreme Court.

Explanation

The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act tried to restrict child labor by banning the interstate shipment of goods made by children under specified age and work-hour limits. In 1918, the U.S. Supreme Court struck it down in Hammer v. Dagenhart, so choice C is correct; the law did not effectively end child labor.
