The Chartist Movement  1838 People's Charter - London Working Men's Association (LWMA) by Thomas Lovett and Francis Place  The Charter had six demands:  All men to have the vote (universal manhood suffrage)  Voting should take place by secret ballot  Parliamentary elections every year, not once every five years  Constituencies should be of equal size  Members of Parliament should be paid  The property qualification for becoming a Member of Parliament should be abolished

Factory Acts, 1830s & 40s  1833: Factory Act. No children under 9 were to be employed except in silk mills. Those aged 9 to 13 were restricted to 9 hours a day and 48 hours a week with two hours school a day. Children and young persons were not to work outside the period 5.30 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. For the first time, factory inspectors were appointed.  1842: Mines Act. This stopped children under 9 and women from working underground.  1847: Factory Act.
