The Corn Laws were tariffs and other trade restrictions on imported food grain (corn) enforced in the UK between 1815 and 1846
Explanation:
- The Corn Laws increased land ownership revenues and political power. Legislation increased food prices and living costs for the British public and hampered the development of other British industries including manufacturing by cutting British public disposable income.
- Influx of cheaper agricultural crops from America and Australia was the immediate effect of Britain's decision to abolish the Corn Laws. Most English farmers had abandoned their trade and migrated to cities and towns.
- Some of them went abroad. This has indirectly led to world farming and rapid urbanization, a precondition for industrial growth
