What is a Reform Act? In the United Kingdom, Reform Act is a generic term used for legislation concerning electoral matters. It is most commonly used for laws passed to enfranchise new groups of voters and to redistribute seats in the British House of CommonsUnited KingdomBritish House of Commons

The Early period: The First Reform Bill

Reform Act 1832Reform Act 1832, which gave representation to previously underrepresented urban areas and extended the qualifications for voting

The Act granted seats in the House of Commons to large cities that had sprung up during the Industrial Revolution, and took away seats from the "rotten boroughs"—those with very small populations. The Act also increased the number of individuals entitled to vote, increasing the size of the electorate by 50–80%, and allowing a total of one out of six adult males to vote, in a population of some 14 million. Industrial Revolutionrotten boroughsvote

Nevertheless…… Living and working conditions in the industrial cities of northern England were terrible. Considerable hardship, injustice, and unrest. In the early 1840s severe economic depression and widespread unemployment led to working –class protest and rioting.

Corn Laws Corn Laws used import tariffs to protect the price of grain for English farmers and landowners while making the price of bread and other foods intolerably high.

The Middle Period England reached the height of its wealth and productivity. The System of Free Trade opened up the world markets for the diverse English goods. London became the world center for banking, insurance and shipping. An expanding new system of railways led to prosperity. Technological and scientific inventions.

The Crystal Palace

The middle of the 19th century saw The Great Exhibition of 1851, the first World's Fair, and showcased the greatest innovations of the century. At its centre was the Crystal Palace, a modular glass and iron structure - the first of its kind. The Great ExhibitionWorld's Fairthe Crystal Palace

The 2 nd Reform Bill The Reform Act 1867 (also known as the Second Reform Act, and formally titled the Representation of the People Act 1867was a piece of British legislation that enfranchised the urban working class in England and Wales. Before the bill, only one million of the five million adult males in England and Wales could vote; the act doubled that number. In its final form, the Reform Act of 1867 enfranchised all male householders and abolished compounding (the practice of paying rates to a landlord as part of rent). However, there was little redistribution of seats; and what there was had been intended to help the Conservative Party.British legislationEngland Wales 1867rates Conservative Party
