CLEP Western Civ II

Answer: B - The pressure to democratize resulted in the Reform Bill of 1832. While England avoided full-scale revolution in this era, it was partially due to the number of social reforms passing in Parliament. The Reform of 1832 redistricted Parliamentary seats, making the governing body more accurately reflect the population shifts created by the Industrial Revolution. The bill also expanded the franchise, providing men in the growing middle class with the vote.
