Analyze various arguments that emerged over the course of the nineteenth century about how to improve the lives of European workers.  \nHistorical Background: Economic changes in the nineteenth century dramatically increased the number of European industrial workers and transformed the conditions under which they lived and worked.  \nDocument 1  \nSource: Thomas Malthus, English economist, An Essay on the Principle of Population, second edition, 1803.  \nThe principal and most permanent cause of poverty has little or no relation to forms of government, or the unequal division of property; and as the rich do not in reality possess the power of finding employment and maintenance for [all] the poor, the poor cannot, in the nature of things, possess the right to demand them; [these] are important truths flowing from the principle of population. . . . And it is evident that every man in the lower classes of society, who became acquainted with these truths, would be disposed to bear the distresses in which he might be involved with more patience.  \n© 2012 The College Board.
