1. chartism

   Chartism was a working-class political reform movement in Great Britain that existed from 1838 to 1858. It took its name from the People's Charter of 1838, which called for six specific political reforms: universal male suffrage, equal electoral districts, voting by a secret ballot, abolition of property qualification for parliament members, payment for members of parliament, and annual elections. Chartism was the first mass movement driven by the working-class people and is considered a significant influence in the development of democratic institutions in the United Kingdom.

1. Chartism

   Chartism was a Victorian era working class movement for political reform in Britain between 1838 and 1848. It takes its name from the People's Charter of 1838. The term "Chartism" is the umbrella name for numerous loosely coordinated local groups, often named "Working Men's Association," articulating grievances in many cities from 1837. Its peak activity came in 1839, 1842 and 1848. It began among skilled artisans in small shops, such as shoemakers, printers, and tailors. The movement was more aggressive in areas with many distressed handloom workers, such as in Lancashire and the Midlands. It began as a petition movement which tried to mobilize "moral force", but soon attracted men who advocated strikes, General strikes and physical violence, such as Feargus O'Connor and known as "physical force" chartists. One faction issued the "People's Charter" in 1838 and it was widely adopted by the movement. The People's Charter called for six basic reforms to make the political system more democratic: ⁕A vote for every man over the age of 21; ⁕A secret ballot; ⁕No property qualification for members of Parliament; ⁕Payment for MPs; ⁕Constituencies of equal size; ⁕Annual elections for Parliament.

1. Chartism

   a movement of the working-classes of Great Britain for greater political power than was conceded to them by the Reform Bill of 1832, and which found expression in a document called the "People's Charter," drawn up in 1838, embracing six "points," as they were called, viz., Manhood Suffrage, Equal Electoral Districts, Vote by Ballot, Annual Parliaments, Abolition of a Property Qualification in the Parliamentary Representation, and Payment of Members of Parliament, all which took the form of a petition presented to the House of Commons in 1839, and signed by 1,380,000 persons. The refusal of the petition gave rise to great agitation over the country, which gradually died out in 1848.
