During the late 19th century, urban political machines emerged as powerful entities that controlled local politics in many American cities. These organizations, often led by charismatic leaders known as "bosses," relied on patronage, bribery, and voter manipulation to maintain their grip on power. They provided essential services and support to immigrant communities in exchange for votes, effectively becoming both a lifeline and a source of corruption. While they helped shape urban infrastructure and social services, they also entrenched corruption and hindered democratic processes.
Powers shared by both the federal and state governments are called "concurrent powers." For example, they both have the power to tax, to try criminals in court, and to build roads.

Settlement houses and political machines both sought to address urban challenges during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, albeit in different ways. Settlement houses provided social services, education, and community support to immigrant and low-income populations, aiming to improve their living conditions and integrate them into society. In contrast, political machines operated through a network of patronage and political influence, often providing jobs and services in exchange for votes and loyalty. Both entities played crucial roles in urban environments, reflecting the complex interplay of social reform and political power.
