The Child Labor Amendment

The Child Labor Amendment

Update: 2022-07-26

Description

Popular opinion rises against child labor, and the Supreme Court shrugs. Congress tries again, but the Court is unmoved. Congress passes an amendment, ratification stalls, we take a detour through Kansas, and questions about the ratification process are raised but not settled. Eight years of the Great Depression and court-packing threats cause a change in constitutional thinking, and the Court shifts away from property rights as the fundamental guarantees of liberty.
