We Just Passed…. SOME LAWS!!!

Municipal reformers challenged the corrupt political machines that ran many major cities.

For decades in New York, power switched back-and-forth between the reformers and old city bosses.

Registered voters improved urban life by improving city services, establishing public health programs, and enforcing tenement codes.

Water, electricity, and gas became more affordable through city- run utilities.

Some reform mayors, such as Hazen S. Pingree of Detroit, led movements for city- supported welfare services. [Image source:

Mayor Pingree provided public baths, parks, and a work-relief program. [Image source:

Others, such as Mayor Samuel M. “Golden Rule” Jones opened playgrounds, free kindergartens, and lodgings for the homeless.

“Nobody has a right to rule anybody else.” Mayor Samuel M. Jones

Governors, such as Robert “Battling Bob” La Follette of Wisconsin, introduced reforms that gave voters a more-direct voice in government. [Image source:

1. Direct Primaries,... Voters can cast ballots to select nominees for upcoming elections.

2. The Seventeenth Amendment,... Instead of the state legislature, the voters were able to choose their United States Senators.
