Hi everyone,
This is my first time doing TOG. We are trying to answer the law and government studies essay on the bottom of pg 11.
We found the different legislations that were passed during both taft and Wilson's administrations. We are having a hard time connecting to functions that God had ordained for church/family.
Can anyone shed some light? Please and thanks!

AS I look over the Taft and Wilson administrations, I can see your point. The two acts that most affected families were the Child Labor Act and Wilson's push for rural education. Before this time, families made the decisions about what children learned or whether they worked. After these legislative changes, these decisions about children were made by the White House, not by your house.

The trend that began here picked up speed in the "New Deal," under Franklin D. Roosevelt. He began to have the federal government fund many of the functions that had traditionally been handled by churches. The book of James says that "This is true and undefiled relgion, to minister to widows and orphans in their distress." When the federal government began to "minister to widows and orphans" through the first federal Welfare programs, it stepped into what had previously been a family or church sphere.
