History

Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Unions were very effective in shaping political and economic policies. Even though their initial efforts did not have success in the late 19th century, their 20th century efforts changed America forever.

For example, the labor unions were able to get the government to pass laws regarding the 8 hour work day, the outlawing of child labor for kids under the age of 16, and the implementation of health and safety regulations to ensure that factory workers were in suitable conditions. Along with this, there are now federal agencies that to this day, continue to monitor businesses and their activities to ensure that they are not breaking any labor laws or health and safety regulations.

yarga [219]

Answer:

After the French and Indian Wars, the British Empire became more powerful in terms of land, but was also in a difficult economic condition.

Because of this, the British levied more taxes on the American colonies, which angered the colonists who were used to relatively low levels of taxation.

The British also wanted to control more aspects of American colonial life. The monarchs had become suspicious of colonial independence, and they wanted tighter control over the colonies.
