Question

question 1 1 pts (from topic 14 - lesson 5 of our digital textbook) which of the following statements is not true of the great reform act of 1832? ∘ it gave more representation to large towns and cities. ∘ it eliminated rotten boroughs. ∘ it enlarged the electorate. ∘ it granted women the right to vote.

Explanation:

The Great Reform Act of 1832 aimed at reforming the British electoral system. It gave more representation to large towns and cities, eliminated rotten boroughs (constituencies with few voters but still sending MPs), and enlarged the electorate by extending the franchise to more middle - class men. However, women's right to vote was not granted by this act; it was a much later development (e.g., through the Representation of the People Acts in the 20th century). So the statement that is not true is "It granted women the right to vote."

Answer:

D. It granted women the right to vote.
