Chartist

Chartist was a 19th-century movement in Britain advocating for political and social reforms, primarily involving working-class citizens. They sought to expand voting rights, improve working conditions, and promote greater political equality through peaceful protests, petitions, and demonstrations. Named after the People's Charter of 1838, their efforts aimed to make government more responsive to the needs of ordinary people. Although they faced resistance and some failures, Chartists played a significant role in steadily advancing democratic rights and social justice, laying groundwork for future reforms in Britain.
