Question 1 • United States History and Geography

Wilson was unsuccessful in making lasting changes regarding

Answer
A
the hours and age at which children worked.
B
hours and pay for railroad workers.
C
access to loans for small farmers.
D
compensation for work-related injuries.

Explanation

Wilson’s administration secured reforms involving railroad workers’ hours and pay through the Adamson Act, work-related injury compensation through federal liability laws, and loans for farmers through the Federal Farm Loan Act. His child-labor law was later struck down by the Supreme Court, so changes to children’s working hours and minimum ages did not last. The correct choice is “the hours and age at which children worked.”
