Question 13 • DBN US History S1

The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act

Answer
A
effectively ended child labor in the United States.
B
only banned child labor on farms, not in factories.
C
was struck down by the US Supreme Court.

Explanation

The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act tried to restrict interstate commerce involving goods made by children. In 1918, the U.S. Supreme Court struck it down in Hammer v. Dagenhart, ruling that Congress could not use its interstate-commerce power in that way, so choice C is correct.
