Parliament was no longer an in- dependent power, but was under the complete control of King and Cabinet.* (7) After having been seventy years out of office; after free governments had been established in America and Switzerland; after the stirring events of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars ; the Whigs in England determined to make an appeal to the Democ- racy of England to wrest the power of the control of Parliament from the monarch, and hand it over to a large uncorrupted voting ...constituency. By the Act of 1832 the corrupt boroughs were destroyed, and the franchise extended. In 1834, an act for the govern- ment of cities on democratic principles was adopted. An act removing the spoils of office from influence over elections, was passed in 1858. The franchise was again extended in 1868, and in 1885. Later acts have ex- tended democratic rule over counties and parishes. In these various ways England is coming to be a thor- oughly democratic State.
