WHAT DOES CHARTISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chartism

Chartism

Chartism was a working-class movement for political reform in Britain which existed from 1838 to 1850 and which took its name from the People's Charter of 1838. It was a national protest movement, with particular strongholds of support in the north of England, the east Midlands, the Potteries, the Black Country and south Wales. Support for the movement was at its highest in 1839, 1842 and 1848 when petitions signed by millions of working people were presented to the House of Commons. The strategy employed was to use the scale of support these petitions and the accompanying mass meetings demonstrated to put pressure on politicians to concede manhood suffrage. Chartism thus relied on constitutional methods to secure its aims, though there were some who became involved in insurrectionary activities, notably in south Wales and Yorkshire. The People's Charter called for six reforms to make the political system more democratic: ▪ A vote for every man twenty-one years of age, of sound mind, and not undergoing punishment for a crime. ▪ The Secret Ballot – To protect the elector in the exercise of his vote.
