Question

Explain why britain was far from democratic during the early 1800s

Answer 1

Although there were 2 houses in Parliament, the House of Lords was made up of Nobles and could veto any bill passed by the House of Commons. So, they could basically do whatever they wanted.  

- Also, less than 5% of the people could vote

- Catholics and non-Anglican Protestants could not vote or serve in Parliament

I hope this helps :)
