The Industrial Revolution changed the lives of Americans by:
1. Giving them an opportunity to enhance/ improve in the technology that they had back then.
Ex: Phones on the walls became the cell phones that we carry around with us wherever we go.
2. It gave the jobless Americans at that time a chance to gain a job and be able to be able to get a home if homeless and better take care of their families if they had one.
In the <em>Lochner v. New York</em> case of 1905, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not <u>impose limits on the number of hours that employees could work.</u>
Further details:
A law passed in 1895 in the state of New York mandated that bakery employees could not work more than 10 hours a day and not more than 60 hours in a week. A bakery owner named Joseph Lochner filed suit against the state, claiming the law was unconstitutional. At the time, the Supreme Court decision was based on the idea that such laws violated an employee's "freedom of contract." The majority of justices saw such a right implicit in the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, thinking that if employees agreed to work a heavy number of hours it was their right to do so.
In the time since the Lochner case, the Supreme Court has gone in the other direction, allowing laws that impose reasonable restrictions on businesses. An example would be <em>West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish </em>(1937), which upheld the constitutionality of a minimum wage law passed in Washington state.
We could answer this question just by knowing who was the president in 1938 - it was <span>A. Neville Chamberlain. But it is also true that he appeased Hitler- or thought he did</span>
