Progressivism and Reform — Test

Question 3 • United States History and Geography

Which reform established by Taft advocated for improving the lives of family, addressing abuse and neglect, and later became part of the Department of Health and Human Services?

Answer
A
the Food and Drug Administration
B
the Children’s Bureau
C
the Federal Reserve system
D
the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act

Explanation

The Children’s Bureau was created during William Howard Taft’s presidency to promote child and family welfare, including protecting children from abuse and neglect. It later became part of the Department of Health and Human Services. The FDA, Federal Reserve system, and Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act do not match that mission.
