The federal government responded to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle by passing the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.


Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle discussed the unsanitary conditions of the meat packing industry in Chicago during the early 1900's. Even though this book was fiction, it was based on real conditions individuals worked in during this era. This book caused outrage among American citizens and the federal government, resulting in government regulation of certain industries.

Answer: Congress passed legislation that regulated the meat-packing industry only after sending a team of government investigators to plants and slaughterhouses.

Explanation:

Upton Sinclair´s novel depicted the severe conditions and exploitaition of immigrants in Chicago and oter industrialized cities. However, it unexpectedly contributed to public outcry about health violations in the American meatpacking industry. President Roosevelt assigned labor commissioner Charles P. Neill and social worker James Bronson Reynolds to make unannounced visits to meat packing buildings. Neill and Reynolds´s report led Roosevelt to support the regulation of the meatpacking industry and sign the Meat Inspection Act of 1906.

which country provided the support of the united states needed to overcome its disadvantages in the american revolution?
Vlad1618 [11]
The correct answer is France.

The French wanted to help the American colonists during the American Revolution due to their hatred for Great Britain. For centuries, France and Great Britain had been rivals. During the American Revolution, France was still upset about their loss to the British during the French and Indian War. To revenge this loss, they helped the American colonists defeat the British.

Give two examples of efforts to standardize languages around the world ap hug
NARA [144]
1) German language

The modern German language is actually a somewhat artificial construct, as to unify the dialect and create one, common German language. Before this, many places each had their own dialects, and especially in the South, the dialects are often still spoken (along with the standard)

2) Galician - currently Galician has 3 standards, but there are efforts to create one standard, in order to strenghten the language's presence in Spain (but it's problematic since many speakers don't identify with the standard as much as with their own dialect)
