Answer:

In 1832, Parliament passed a law changing the British electoral system. It was known as the Great Reform Act. This was a response to many years of people criticising the electoral system as unfair. For example, there were constituencies with only a handful of voters that elected two MPs to Parliamen

Explanation:

The 1832 Reform Act abolished the 40 shilling franchise which had its origins in a statute of 1429 limiting who could vote for the knights of the shire - the most prominent members of the Commons at the time.
