Explanation:

• The Corn Laws were tariffs and other trade restrictions on imported food and grain ("corn") enforced in Great Britain between 1815 and 1846. They were designed to keep grain prices high to favour domestic producers, and represented British mercantilism.
• People were unable to afford expensive food grains and forced the government to scrap the corn laws. The British government abolished the corn laws which brought a lot of changes in the British economy: 1. Food could be imported into Britain more cheaply than it could be produced within the country.

Answer 2

• 'Corn Laws' were laws passed by the British government to restrict the import of corn.
• Corn laws led to high food prices because the demand for food grains had gone up in the urban and industrial cities.
• This led to the abolition of Corn Laws, forced on the government by industrialists and urban dwellers.
