Question

in both britain and the united states, what happened in the 1870s that limited child labor?

as unions became stronger, they didnt allow children under 14 to work.

laws passed in both countries prohibited children under 14 from working.

laws passed in both countries limited children to work only 8 hours a day.

compulsory education and attendance laws were passed in both countries.

Explanation:

In the 1870s, both Britain and the U.S. implemented compulsory education laws requiring children to attend school, which reduced their availability for work. Unions restricting under-14s, nationwide bans on under-14 work, and 14-hour limits were not universal or accurate for both countries in this period.

Answer:

D. Compulsory education and attendance laws were passed in both countries.
