Question

Summarize Britain's factory act of 1833, the mines act of 1842, and the ten hours act of 1847

Answer 1

The factory act of 1833 made it illegal for factories to employ children under the age of nine in their factories. The mines act made it illegal for children under the age of 10 to work in any mine. The ten hours act made it illegal for women and teens to work for more than 10 hours per day. All three were pieces of progressive laws that helped fight child labor.
