It is poorly conditioned and most of the time there's poor hygiene.

Those examples are bathrooms. They don't require plumbing nor sewage-ways. Once they go, they toss their manure and/or urine out to the streets. Which puts citizens at risk of being sick.

The act banned manufacturers from selling mislabeled products, and adulterating food with unacceptable ingredients and from misleading consumers with false claims.

Government regulation of this kind strongly affected the ways in which foods and drugs were prepared, packages, labeled, sold, and advertised in the US.

The manufacturers made meat have chemicals which made it healthy. But due to the urban conditions in the old ages, its gone to the point where people were getting sick and caused fatalities due to diseases and illnesses within the meat.

Muckraker Upton Sinclair made a journal called "The Jungle" where the journal exposed living conditions within the factory and how meat is manufactured.

There were also a Department of Commence which two of the departments split when Woodrow Wilson signed the bill.

The Federal Reserve System became the central banking authority of the United States.

The Federal Reserve Act created twelve Federal Reserve districts, each with its own Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Reserve Board to coordinate operation for the whole system.

Any bank with the "National Bank" in its name had to belong to the system, and a state-charted banks could become members if they were willing to invest 6 present of their capital in the system.

In the twenty-first century, the Federal Reserve System remains an independent agency of the government. It continues to control the flow of money and credit in the U.S economy.

The idea of paying income tax was nor new in 1913. As far back as the war of 1812 the concept of using taxation to fund a federal issue was considered. The war ended before the tax levy could be legalized, and the question of taxation did not come up again until the American Civil War.

The Internal Revenue Act of 1862 taxed incomes in a progressive manner. This mean the higher the income, the higher the tax.

Congress passed the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act, which imposed a 2% tax on all annual incomes over four thousand dollars.

Many citizens fought for the adoption of income taxation. It was an easy way to raise money that could be used for any number of things. The main concern was that the bulk of the country's weather lay in the hands of just a few people.

The 17th Amendment did more than give Americans the right to elect their senators.

Under the new Amendment if any local political party authorities refused to allowed an African American to vote based on his race, it now became a constitutional issue.

Each state was to be represented by two senators elected for a six year term.

There were logical reasons for wanting to elect these politicians. As the system stood corrupt politicians appointed senators who's support they know they could buy.

Despite the law it was not uncommon for whites to prohibit African Americans from voting. They did this by threatening their lives or by requiring them to pass literacy tests everyone knew they could not pass.

The FTC had two major tasks, which is to regulate trusts based on consumer complaints, congressional inquires, or even reports in the media. If the FTC discovered unlawful conduct, it could then seek voluntary compliance by the offending business through a consent order, file and administrative complaint, or initiate litigation in federal court.

The FTC could also issue rules that addressed industry wide practiced. Perhaps most important, the law did not require an actual deception to occur before the commission could take action; in fact, the FTC had only to find the likelihood that business practices could deceive customers.

It was drafted by Henry De Lamar Clayton, in which the act prohibited exclusive sales contracts, local price cutting to freeze out competitors, rebates, interlocking directories in corporations capitalized at $1 million or more in the same field of business, and inter-corporate stock holdings.

The act restricted the use of the injunction against Labor, and it legalized peaceful strikes, picketing, and boycotts. It declared that "the Labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of commerce."

The Clayton Anti-Trust Act was the basis for a great many important and much publicized suits against large corporations. Later amendments to the act strengthened its provisions against unfair price cutting and inter-corporate stock holdings.

The proposal moved quickly through the house, but, lacking the support of the president with deep reservations about the federal government's jurisdiction in such matters, made no progress in the Senate. The introduced it to Edward Keating, Democrat of Colorado, Where it again passed without any difficulty.

On this occasion, however, President Wilson, fearful of losing the political initiative to a newly reunited Republican Party, and recognizing that such legislation had proved to be the one of the more popular planks in his party's platform, used his influence in the Senate to secure its passage.

In actuality, the Keating Owen Act did little more than prohibit shipment in interstate commerce of goods manufactures or processed by child labor. the act forbade the shipment between the states or in foreign commerce of any minerals where, within thirty days prior to such shipment, children sixteen years old or younger has been employed.

It also forbade the shipment had employed children younger than fourteen years old or where children between fourteen and sixteen years of age had worked more than eight hours a day or six days a week.

The Women's Christian Temperance Union was founded in 1874. In 1895, the Anti-Saloon League formed, and it was soon joined by countless other organizations. Together they had great influence on legislators, many of whom were opposed to alcohol themselves.

Organized crimes soon took control of the illegal distribution of liquor, and the government soon had a problem much more serious than the outlawing of alcoholic drinks.

In December 1933, Congress passed the 21st Amendment, which repealed the 18th Amendment. It had become clear that America was not about to give up its consumption of alcohol regardless of the law. Furthermore, enforcing the law prohibiting alcohol had proved a costly thirteen year battle that could not be won.

As America grew to be dependent upon industry in the mid-to late nineteenth century, middle and upper classes formed. This prosperity created a never-before-seen class of women who had time on their hands. Able to focus on social and cultural issues that mattered to them, many of the most dedicated women supported suffrage.

America was slow to accept the idea that women should be recognized as first-class citizens. It was an era when men ran business and politics while women raised children and busied themselves within the home. Women were considered too fragile to understand and deal with anything political. Men could think of no reason to allow women to cast a vote.

Two organizations, the National Women Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association joined fores in 1890 to become the National American Women Suffrage Association, America's entry into World War I helped forward the women;s movement as Alice Paul asked President Woodrow Wilson how he could fight for democracy overseas while denying women in his own country the right to vote.

In the western states, which decided the election, organized labor gave more unified support to Wilson than they had as never before. According to Labor historian Melvyn Dubofsky, "Labor votes in the Pacific Coast states, most especially California, proved indispensable to Wilson's Victory."
