Answer:
- The new political climate in the United States Supreme Court meant that a federal child labor ban could stand constitutional muster.
Explanation / historical context
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was eager to implement his New Deal programs as an antidote to the Great Depression. However, the US Supreme Court had already ruled that some provisions of the New Deal were unconstitutional, because they took too much power into the hands of the federal government, especially the executive branch of the federal government. So, riding the momentum of his landslide reelection victory in 1936, in February of 1937, FDR proposed a plan to expand the Supreme Court to as many as 15 judges. The plan offered to provide full pay to justices over age 70 who would retire. If the older justices didn't retire, assistant justices (with full voting rights) would be appointed to sit with those existing justices. This was a way FDR hoped to give the court a liberal majority that would side with his programs.
As it turned out, before FDR's proposal came up for a vote in Congress, two of the sitting justices came over to his side of the argument, and the Supreme Court narrowly approved as constitutional both the Social Security Act and the National Labor Relations Act. So the court packing plan became unnecessary to his purposes.
Child labor was regulated by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. In a unanimous decision in <em>United States v. Darby Lumber Co</em>. (1941), the US Supreme Court upheld the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The Court ruled that Congress had power, under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, to regulate employment conditions.

Answer:
The decline of the Spanish empire was brought about by many factors. Money was tight for the Spanish during the 17th century, despite that galleons filled with gold were sent from the Americas (though many were raided by pirates or were wrecked in storms). But conquering and forming an empire is one thing; maintaining it quite another. Often the natives of a conquered land are not happy with the conditions they're subjected to by the conquerors, just as often those conditions are brutal and unfair. So they rise up in arms, and that means that empire has to spend a lot of money on armies and weapons to extinguish it.
