🇬🇧THE CHARTIST MOVEMENT
🗳 The Chartist movement emerged in Britain during the 1830s and 1840s as a working-class campaign advocating for political reform. Its name derives from the People's Charter of 1838, which outlined six key demands:
🔸universal male suffrage;
🔸secret ballots;
🔸payment for Members of Parliament;
🔸equal electoral districts;
🔸the abolition of property qualifications for MPs;
🔸annual parliaments.
✊ The movement was driven by widespread discontent with the existing political system, which excluded many working-class men from voting. Although the Chartists faced significant opposition and their immediate goals were not achieved, their efforts laid the groundwork for future reforms and highlighted the need for greater democratic participation. The movement is often regarded as a precursor to modern labor rights and democratic movements in Britain and beyond.
