History

6 0

Answer:

Starting with Illinois in 1911, the "mother's pension" movement sought to provide state aid for poor fatherless children who would remain in their own homes cared for by their mothers. In effect, poor single mothers would be excused from working outside the home. Welfare reformers argued that the state pensions would also prevent juvenile delinquency since mothers would be able to supervise their children full-time.

By 1933, mother's pension programs were operating in all but two states. They varied greatly from state to state and even from county to county within a state. In 1934, the average state grant per child was $11 a month. Administered in most cases by state juvenile courts, mother's pensions mainly benefitted families headed by white widows. These programs excluded large numbers of divorced, deserted, and minority mothers and their children.

s2008m [1.1K]

The statements which are consequences are:

A. Machines could work at rates faster than human power ever allowed.  

E. It turned the wooded areas of Britain into great centers of industry.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The engine was used to pump water from mines. With the improvements made by James Watt in 1778, steam power immediately took off. The Watt steam engine dramatically improved the efficiency of the steam engines. His engines might be smaller, with much less coal being used.

The steam engine was integrated into the machinery and made the first true industrial machinery by eliminating wooded areas. Becoming able to provide movement and control by steam innovated the work of several industries, enabling them to avoid using the hectic time taken by manpower, which also created problems.
