Question

What are reforms? (I’m learning about the industrial revolution)

Answer 1

Answer: make changes in (something, typically a social, political, or economic institution or practice) in order to improve it.

Explanation: Reform means the improvement or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory, etc. The use of the word in this way emerges in the late 18th century and is believed to originate from Christopher Wyvill's Association movement which identified “Parliamentary Reform” as its primary aim.
