Explanation

The Reform Act of 1832 redistributed seats in Parliament to reflect population changes. It reduced the representation of some small, rural boroughs and gave more seats to growing cities, so people in cities gained greater representation. The act did not give women the vote or primarily increase the power of wealthy landowners.
