The effect of the factory system included multiple consequences, but among the options provided, the most accurate are:

  1. People were able to make more money working at a factory than farming.
  2. People were no longer their own bosses.

Both of these statements reflect significant changes associated with the rise of the factory system. However, if choosing one response based on the context of economic impact, it would be more accurate to say:
