Additional seats were given to the most populous counties. c. only the men who had on certain amount of property or paid a certain amount of rent had the right to vote.

B. Effect It had strong effect on Britain. It made the social condition even worse for the working class and some lower middle classes, which remained voteless on account of the high property qualification.

III. The New Poor Law and the Anti- Corn Law League 1. The New Poor Law It was passed in 1834, according to the law, the only relief that the poorest workers could get was given in the workhouses, where conditions were even worse than those of the meanest laborer who was earning his own living.
