Women's suffrage would take many years to become a reality. Why did legislation giving women the right to vote take so long to p
ass--even though the plight of women became a major concern during the Industrial Revolution? a Most British women did not want the right to vote because they were afraid of the responsibility it held.
b The unspoken rules of British society still expected women not to participate in public life in a visible way.
c The only people who could write the legislation were men who did not want to women to have any power.
d This type of legislation would change the structure of government too much to be considered.
I believe the answer you are looking for is: "a violent or destructive protest." The government would be most likely to become involved in a union protest that is violent or destructive.
