Home+Rule

Home Rule

Municipal reformers, such as settlement workers, club members, and professionals, worked to change many problems. Some of these people worked for home rule. It was a system that gave cities a limited amount of self-rule. This made it possible for cities to come out of domination of state governments that were controlled by political machines, businesses, or rural interests.
