The effects of Social Darwinism and the Lassiez Faire on laborers in the 19th century were that the employers felt they could treat the employees like dirt, and the government could not do anything about it. The Lassiez Faire was the beleif that industry was not man made, and so could not be ruled over by men, which was terrible for the laborers because it made it so there were no policies over working conditions or hours and pay. Social Darwinism was the belief that poor people were lazy and weak and the rich were strong, and it was survival of the fittest. These ideas made it so the employers felt that what they were doing was not wrong, because it was not the employers fault the laborers were in the position they were in.
