  3. Democratic Reform and Activism Why you should care: During this period, Britain and France were transformed into the democracies they are today; helping promote democratic ideas around the world. 5minutes to Define Terms/People: -Suffrage -Chartist Movement -Queen Victoria (314) -Third Republic

  4. Democratic Reform and Activism • Along with reforms in urbanization and industrialization, many people also wanted political reform. A greater voice in government and the right to vote were pivotal ideas in 19th century Europe and the U.S. Britain Enacts Reform • Became a constitutional monarch in the 1600’s • Monarch was head of state • Parliament held the real power • House of Lords – position was inherited or appointed (heredity abolished 1999) • House of Commons – elected by British people • British government was not a true democracy in the 1800’s • Only 5% of the population had the right to vote • Men with land holdings • Women had no vote regardless of social class • Result: Wealthy men ran the government

  5. Reform Bill of 1832 • Wealthy middle class began demanding suffrage in 1830 • Parliament feared revolts and revolutions of France might spread to Britain • Parliament passed reform bill in 1832 • allowed middle class to vote (still only semi-wealthy men) • Modernized districts to allow thriving industrial cites more parliamentary representation Chartist Movement • “People’s Charter of 1838” • Promoted suffrage for all men (working class) • Other reforms included: • Secret ballot voting • End to property requirements for serving in parliament • Pay members of parliament (so non-wealthy could afford to participate) • Demands were rejected by parliament but caught on with general public • By the early 1900’s (60 years later) almost all of the chartist demands had been adopted as law

  6. Victorian Age • Named for Queen Victoria • Became queen at the age of 18 in 1837 • Monarch for 64 years • British Empire reached the height of its wealth and power during her reign • Forced to accept a less powerful role than her predecessors • Previous leaders had transferred governing power to Parliament – to be controlled mainly by the prime minister and the cabinet • Historical Irony? A country that did not allow women to vote was symbolically led by a woman!

  7. Women Get the Vote • Some industrial countries had universal male suffrage by 1890 • As men gained the right to vote, more women began to do the same Organization and Resistance • 1800’s British and American women worked to gain the vote • British women organized reform societies and protested unfair laws and customs • The more vocal they became; so did the opposition against them • Considered too radical an idea • Many thought women lacked the ability to participate in politics

  8. Militant Protests • Decades of failed peaceful protest lead to violent means • Emmeline Pankhurst • (Britain) formed the /Women’s Social and Political Union in 1903 – WSPU • Used violent/destructive means to gain attention to women’s suffrage • Went on hunger strikes while imprisoned; gained public support • force fed by guards to keep her alive! • Women’s suffrage gained attention in the years between 1880 and 1914 but reform was gradual • American women gained the right to vote in 1920 • British women (over 30) gained th right to vote in 1918

  9. Primary Source Documents “I want to say here and now that the only justification for violence, the only justification for damage to property, the only justification for risk to the comfort of other human beings is the fact that you have tried all other available means and have failed to secure justice.” -Emmeline Pankhurst, Why We Are Militant What does this mean in common, simple language today?

  10. Student Responses: • They were tired of the BS and they wanted to vote. So resorted to violence. • They are violent b/c they’ve waited too long for a change. • Women are smarter than men should and should have voted back then. • Women wanted suffrage, this lead to the justification of violence because nothing else worked. • Women wanted to vote so they resorted to violence.

  11. Student Responses: • Tried everything possible before resorting to violence. • You gotta do what you gotta to get heard. • There is not enough security in the world, henceforth, denying justice. • They tried everything before resorting to violence. • Gain OUR own justice to get what we want.

  12. Student Responses: • Nothing but violence worked to gain attention. • Everything else failed in securing justice. • If you can’t get your point across nicely; do it forcefully. • Doing it because “they” had failed them.
