Question

Which most likely explains why the british parliament decided to pass the reform act of 1832?

Answer 1

Answer

To grant greater representation to people from lower strata of society

Explanation

The reform act of 1832 came in the aftermath of a lot of protests and demonstrations by the public after the defeat of reform act of 1831 by the house of lords. There was a lot of space for candidates to buy votes because of flawed election procedures. This helped in greater representation of the worker class.
