Question

Which of the following was not a factor that propelled the working class to demand more rights through protests and agitations?

• A. Suppression of people's freedom
• B. Increasing unemployment and food prices
• C. Improvement in working conditions
• D. Denial of the right to vote

Answer 1

The correct option is C Improvement in working conditions

As a result of the long-drawn war between France and England, Britain witnessed an increase in unemployment and inflation. The British Parliament opposed the right to vote for the working class people and enacted several laws that curtailed people's freedom. All these factors resulted in mass protests by the working class people in their bid to achieve an equitable society.
