One problem with the political system in the early 1900s was the lack of direct democracy. To improve this, reformers worked to introduce initiatives, referendums, and recalls, which gave citizens a greater say in governance and decision-making.

One problem with child labor was the exploitation and abuse of young workers in dangerous working conditions. To improve this issue, reformers worked to pass laws and regulations that restricted or prohibited child labor in various industries.
