3 0

No economic regulations: During the Victorian Age, there were no regulations regarding the economy and therefore employers could pay poorly and work their workers for 12+ hours.

The combination of low pay, long hours, and child labor allowed employers to make big money while not passing it on to the worker. The time was marked by a belief in Social Darwinism, meaning people believed it was natural that some would be wealthy and some would be poor.

Why was the heliocentric model so revolutionary

professor190 [17]

It was important because it proposed a completely different view of the universe and the position of the Earth and Sun within it. Prior to Copernicus, it was thought that the Earth was stationary and that everything in our galaxy revolved around it. However, the heliocentric model proposed a different view - it means that the Sun is actually the center of the galaxy, and everything within the Milky Way, including the Earth, revolves around that star.
