The Elizabeth Poor Laws, enacted in England in 1601, established a framework for the relief of the poor and set a precedent for future welfare systems. They required local parishes to assess and provide aid to the needy, distinguishing between "worthy" and "unworthy" poor, and mandated the collection of taxes to fund this assistance. These laws aimed to alleviate poverty while maintaining social order, ultimately influencing later social welfare policies. The framework laid by these laws marked a significant shift towards state responsibility for the welfare of its citizens.
