LAD #29 Keating-Owen Child Labor Act

The Act laid the foundation for regulating child labor in the United States by banning products made by factories, mines, and other companies that employed children to create their products. The Act took advantage of the federal government's power over interstate trade. However, the act was later deemed unconstitutional as a result of Hammer v. Dagenhart because of the federal government overstepping its bounds when it came to the regulation of interstate trade.
