Rotten Boroughs and Reform

Rotten autonomous regions and background of reform The autonomous region is a town (Oxford English dictionary) "has privilege of local government entities and royal franchises". Of these privileges, municipalities have the right to send delegates to Congress. Since the 17th century, there were no new autonomous cities in England (Corey 371). With the aging of the country, population and industry changed, resulting in a difference between the country's demographics and the representative system of the government.

Prior to the Reform Act of 1832, the Pocket Autonomous Region / Corrupt Autonomous Region was England, UK, or British Parliament or constituency, but there were a few voters in the constituency, which users could use . Approved House of Representatives had a non-representative influence in the House. Comparing this is like the state as a whole, under the control of the Smith family. Because the state is the size of the community of dozens of people who have always voted for Smith or their allies to Congress. Rosa family has historically dominated this area. Because it is the case of Pitt which dominates the Appleby district where they can win directly, or can dominate from the placement of candidates.

Prior to 1832, not only the status of aristocrats dominated the parliament but also the "rotating municipality", the scale of the parliamentary community was reduced, but it was still elected as a member of the House of Representatives. The reform proposal abolished the municipality that rotted, "The right winner of Congress supported the elimination of corrupted voters and their seats moved to a more healthy county constituency." It also contained three other autonomous regions less than 4,000 residents, eventually losing two MPs. The total number of seats affected in 1832 was 52, 52 more than in 1867. This number is 52 administrative districts.
