About this title

Synopsis

Providing an account of the development of democracy in Britain, this book starts from the "unreformed" political system before 1832 to the Parliamentary Reform Acts passed between 1832 and 1918, with the extension of the franchise, the secret ballot, and the elimination of corrupt practices. The book also provides an examination of parliamentary reforms while exploring the changing role of the monarchy and the reasons for its survival, and the development of local government.
