The first federal law regulating child labor in the United States was:

Child Labor Deterrence Act
Keating-Owen Act
Taft-Hawley Act
Fair Labor Standards Act
Smith-Connally Act

Explanation

Answer: B - The first federal legislation restricting child labor was the Keating-Owen Act of 1916. Rather than directly attempting to stop the acts of child labor, the legislation restricted the sale of goods made or resources acquired by children under a certain age. However, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the act unconstitutional on legal technicalities.
