After reading the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act, this is the summary I came up with:
The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act was put in place because of the large number of child workers during the 1900s. People were especially fervent about this issue because there were a number of health and welfare issues when it came to these children. The Keating-Owen Child Labor Act tried to put a stop to this by making it illegal to sell and products from a place that employed children under the age of 14 or 16(depending on the specific job), plus under 16 who worked for more than 8 hours a night. Later, during Hammer v. Dagenhart, it was ruled to be unconstitutional, but later on the Revenue Act of 1919 was passed, which also did things to(hopefully) kill off child labor, but was also ruled to be unconstitutional during Bailey v. Drexel Furniture Company. Luckily, an amendment was later added that made it so Congress could regulate child labor, and the Fair Labor Standards Act was created and is still in force today.
