Answer 2

Option 1: The middle class.

Britain’s Reform Act of 1832 only enfranchised the middle class. Before the reform only a few men were eligible to vote, it depended on some factors such as owning property, paid of certain taxes, residence in a borough, etc. In general, only wealthy men could vote.

The Act only had an impact to the rights of middle-class men. The electorate only increased from 366,000 to 650,000 approximately, (nearly 18 percent of the total adult male population in Britain and Wales).
