The gov created child-labor laws
And made the number of work hours per day higher

anonymous · Answer

Do you know why they did this? What their goals for it were?

solomonzelman · Answer

child-labor laws- this way the employers such as factory owners can have work done for less$.
To have more work.
(The combined goal, which was reached by the Gov in 1800 is to get a lot of work for a really low price!)
