Question 4 • US History

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

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.
