| | The key to the success of the English Reform movement was the passage of the Reform Bill of 1832, which, by greatly expanding the suffrage, compelled the government to respond to the political pressures generated by industrialization. | | | The Chartist political movement broke new ground with a number of liberal proposals, which, though they were considered radical during the 1830,s, would, decades later, be accepted by the major political parties and be passed into law. | | | The controversy involving the Corn Laws is particularly suggestive of the political changes that were taking place during the years of the English Reform Movement. |
