Wilson's New Freedom — Quiz

Question 8 • United States History and Geography

Wilson was unsuccessful in making lasting changes regarding

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

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.”
