A platform for parliamentary reform proposed by middle-class and working-class people in Britain who were dissatisfied with the 1832 electoral reform. It was drafted by W. Lovett, a leader of the London Working Men's Association, and published in 1838. The Chartist movement developed afterwards, hoping to realize this charter. The demands were (1) universal suffrage for adult males over 21 years of age, (2) the abolition of property restrictions for members of parliament, (3) annual elections to parliament, (4) equal distribution of electoral districts based on the number of voters, (5) payment of annual salaries to members of parliament, and (6) secret ballots. The Chartists collected signatures and petitioned Parliament for the charter three times from 1839 onwards, but none of the petitions were taken up, and the movement disbanded in 1848. However, all six of the charter's demands were realized by the first half of the 20th century. Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
英国において1832年の選挙法改正に不満であった中産階級と労働者階級の人たちによって提案された議会改革のための綱領。ロンドン労働者協会の指導者W.ラベットが起草して,1838年に発表された。以後この憲章(チャーター)の実現を期してチャーチスト運動が展開することになった。その要求内容は(1)21歳以上の成人男子の普通選挙権,(2)議員の財産制限の撤廃,(3)議会の毎年選挙,(4)有権者数にもとづく平等な選挙区配分,(5)議員への歳費の支給,(6)無記名の投票。チャーチストは署名を集めて翌1839年以降3回にわたってこの憲章を議会に請願したが,いずれも取り上げられなかったため1848年に運動は消滅した。しかしその内容の6点は20世紀の前半までにすべて実現した。
