The Chartist Demands Reasons for the Demands
1 All males over 21 should be able to vote. A This would make sure that M.P.s did what the voters said or they would be voted out at the end of the year.
2 Anyone should be able to become a Member of Parliament (M.P.) B This would make sure that landlords and employers could not bully people into voting for their candidates.
3 Members of Parliament should be paid. C Everyone has to obey the law, everybody should be able to vote on who makes the law.
4 New Parliaments should be held every year. D If the numbers of voters for each M.P. was the same, it would make the voting system much fairer.
5 Voting should be done in a secret ballot. E This would allow anyone to become an M.P. because they would get a wage to live on.
6 The numbers of people represented by an M.P. should be about the same in all areas or Constituencies. F This would mean that anyone, even a worker, could become an M.P.
