What was one to the reasons marian wright edelman founded the children's defense fund? a. to reform the juvenile justice system b. to promote child labor practices c. to end unfair adoption practices d. to children find employment?

I believe the answer is a. to reform the juvenile justice system
She saw the juvenile justice system in her states basically only treating the young juvenile as an outcast without any regards on what's going happen to them when they get out. 
The children defense fund helped the juvenile by focusing on re-motivating and re-learning  (teaching the juvenile several marketable skills) rather than focussing on the punishment of their actions

Both the han and the roman empire decline as a result of social unrest during their collapse.
