In 1815, Britain was a constitutional monarchy with a parliament and two political parties. Great Britain still far from democratic.
There parliament was made up of the House of Lords were hereditary nobles and high-ranking clergy in the Church of England. They had the right to veto any bill passed by the House of Commons.

Members of the Commons were elected, but less than five percent of the people could vote. Wealthy country squires, or landowners, along with nobles, dominated politics and influenced voters. In addition, old laws banned Catholics and non-Anglican Protestants from voting or serving in Parliament.

The Irish resented most people at the time and rebelled very often. This happened because most of the Irish were Catholic so they were forced to pay tithes to the church of England and they were forced to pay very high rents to landlords. Irish nationalists campaigned vigorously for freedom and justice in the 1800's and the leader, Daniel O'Connell organized an Irish Catholic league and he also held mass meetings to demand repeal of unfair laws. Many people wanted to get "Ireland for the Irish." In 1829 The parliament passed the Catholic Emancipation Act, which allowed Irish Catholics to vote and hold political office, but with this law passed there was still many injustices that remained the same. In the 1870's, Charles Stewart Parnell was the new leader of the Irish nationalists. The Irish soon disrupted British politics for decades with the Irish question because many political parties were so deeply split over the issue. The Prime Minister soon ended the use of Irish tithe money and many new laws were made to end unfair rents.

In the 1800s parliament passed a number of social and economic reforms. They were designed to help working class families. Britain put taxes on goods like many other countries at the time. There were many debates over taxes and tariffs, to make them cheaper for the working class was the biggest one at this time. In the 1700s most slave trade was happening with the Americas and British enlightenment thinkers started focusing on the darkness of slave trade. As Britain started a movement to abolish slavery times got very violent. Crime was high and many people were being punished in bad ways for their crimes.

Under Victoria, the British middle class—and growing numbers of the working class—felt great confidence in the future. That confidence grew as Britain expanded its already huge empire. Victoria, the empress of India and ruler of some 300 million subjects around the world, became a revered symbol of British might.

During her reign, Victoria witnessed growing agitation for social reform. The queen herself commented that the lower classes “earn their bread and riches so deservedly that they cannot and ought not to be kept back.” As the Victorian era went on, reformers continued the push toward greater social and economic justice.

Women Struggle for the Vote by Nicholas Hutsler

In many places including Britain women were treated unfairly, restrained from rights, and in some cases even tortured. As a result of being stripped of the right to vote many women protested for that right to be granted. In some cases it would end up imprisoning the women which lead to accounts of torture and harsh punishments. Some of these cases were understandable however as some protests involved burning down public property and vandalizing government structures.

In the 1860s a new era came to British politics and the old political parties regrouped under new leadership. The Whigs evolved into the Liberal party, and the other party was the Conservatives. In time Britain had truly transformed itself from a Constitutional Monarchy to a Parliamentary democracy. In the early 1900s they took away most power from the Lords and gave it to The Elected House of Commons which made British citizens very happy.
