If the Great Reform Bill of 1832 did not pass Britain’s Parliament, “The first Factory Act was passed in 1833, limiting the number of hours children under age 13 could work (a nine-hour maximum!) and restricting those under age 18 to 69 hours of labor per week” would not have seen the light of day (Pg.575). It would have also affected other following laws that would have “banned the employment of children under age 10 in the mines while limiting the number of hours to 10 that women and boys under age 18 could work underground.” Keeping women and children out of the mines would not have occurred. Instead, the abuses would continue against children and women, and the death rate would have climbed to outrageous numbers for kids, although the number was already higher than for adults.
