The Social Security Act is a federal law of the United States approved by Congress on August 14, 1935, establishing the first norm of a US public administration aimed at sustaining a welfare state.

The law was enacted in the context of the New Deal promoted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and gave a definitive character to local measures of assistance to elderly people who had become seriously impoverished as a result of the Great Depression.

The new law established a social protection system at the federal level: retirement for people over 65 years old, insurance against unemployment and various aids for the disabled, but the diseases and disability were not covered. The blind and handicapped children received grants financed by federal grants awarded in the states. Progressively, the system covered a wider part of the population, particularly thanks to the 1939 and 1950 amendments, but initially it was restricted to the limits initially imposed by Roosevelt.

liraira [26]

Answer:  The correct answer is:  In ancient Babylon, fingerprints were pressed on clay tablets to mark contracts. The oldest documents known as such where fingerprints are shown date from China in the third century B.C.  Sir William Herschel began collecting fingerprints in 1856 and noted that they were not altered with age. In 1888 Sir Francis Galton together with Sir Edmund Richard Henry developed the fingerprint classification system and this system is still used in the United States. Identification by fingerprints is very reliable.
