DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938
利用投票和选区数据，分析1938年《公平劳动标准法》为何在民主党内部引发分裂，发现南方民主党人的反对部分源于低薪工人被剥夺选举权，且众议院中的反对反映了新政联盟的削弱。
This article uses roll-call voting and constituency data to provide an improved understanding of how and why the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 divided the Democratic Party. The evidence suggests, first, that the predominance of southerners among Democrats who opposed the FLSA resulted in part from the widespread disfranchisement of low-wage workers in the South and, second, that Democratic opposition to the FLSA in the House of Representatives reflected a weakening of the coalition that had passed so much legislation during the earlier years of the New Deal.
