choose the three items that correctly identify some of the results of the industrial revolution of the 19th century.
non - elites gained economic and political power as a result of industrialization.
one unintended impact of the industrial revolution was a decrease in family size.
19th century feminist movements in the west were also concerned with abolition and property rights.
industrialization often resulted in the creation of cleaner water supplies.
the industrial revolution helped to strengthen working class families.

Explanation:

• Non - elites gained economic and political power as a result of Industrialization: With the growth of industries, a new class of industrialists (non - elites in the traditional sense of land - owning aristocracy) emerged. They accumulated wealth and began to demand political representation, for example, in Britain, the Reform Acts were influenced by the growing industrial middle class.
• One unintended impact of the Industrial Revolution was a decrease in family size: As people moved to cities for industrial jobs, living spaces became smaller, the cost of raising children in an urban (industrial) environment (such as providing education and proper nutrition) increased, and the value of child labor in the home (which was more prominent in agrarian economies) decreased.
• 19th - century feminist movements in the West were also concerned with abolition and property rights: Many women involved in social reform movements. For instance, in the United States, some women who were part of the abolitionist movement (opposing slavery) also started to advocate for women's property rights (as in many places, married women had no control over their own property). The Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which is a landmark in the women's rights movement, was influenced by the ideas of social reform including abolition.

• Industrialization often resulted in the creation of cleaner water supplies: This is incorrect. Industrialization led to pollution of water sources. Factories dumped waste into rivers, and the rapid urbanization associated with industrialization overwhelmed the existing sewage systems, making water supplies dirtier.
• The Industrial Revolution helped to strengthen working - class families: This is incorrect. Working - class families often faced long working hours (with men, women, and children working in factories), which led to less family time together. Also, the poor living conditions in urban slums (a result of industrialization - driven urbanization) put stress on family structures.

Answer:

• Non - elites gained economic and political power as a result of Industrialization.
• One unintended impact of the Industrial Revolution was a decrease in family size.
• 19th - century feminist movements in the West were also concerned with abolition and property rights.
