I AM SO MAD BECAUSE I ALREADY DID THIS UGH you should all feel really special because the last thing I want to do is refind all my funny gifs. 

The Wigs at this time

Okay so we have the Torries and the Wigs. 

• they are both conservative or "Driven" by this conservative force. 
• yet the Wigs don't want to be King's puppets. 
• because of this, a semi, really early 2 party system was formed. 

The Wigs were known to be more likely to listen and sympathize with the liberals 

• they understood and were willing to compromise with the people who wanted to reform. 

Yet the Torries were not moving (aka, UTRA CONSERVATIVE) 

Still, the only people who could vote were white men with money

• The Landed Aristocracy did not want everyone to vote- 
• they wanted to feel special :) 

The 3 main things to Know 

Government after Waterloo and the 6 Acts

1. The 6 Acts 

• The 6 Acts placed controls on this heavy tax. 
• They didn't want any mass meetings, because those allowed protests to start forming. 

     2.  Battle of Peterloo 

• This was a huge protest right in St. Peter's field in Manchester. 
• the govt. brings in the cavalry to stop it
• this is something new. Death was threatened to the protesters, and it only further proved just how serious the 6 Acts should be taken. 
• This government was going to stand fast. Sorry people. 
• Also, they coped England here with the Battle of Waterloo. smh. 

      3. The Voting Districts

• The Wigs (which are like the liberal conservatives remember) wanted to change some things. 
• they pass a reform bill to change the voting districts, and did so by asking the King for his permission, which was soon granted. 
• This bill gave us a full 12% of men who could not vote!! Progress!! 
• contrary to the old 6%, this was HUGE. 

2 Themes of the change in Government Politics 

• Mass Politics and Mass Loyalty to the State. 
• Mass Politics: Just because the numbers were right for this, that does not mean they had enough power to get what they wanted. There was essentially no proportionate power. 
• all of these petitions were flying around, yet each time they were presented they were shut down. 
• People were not easily willing to lose 

Mr. Swift: 

• Tells Irish to stop being babies about their "potato famine" and just eat their babies. 
• @Trick9 : get out the crockpot amiright?? We got some babies to eat. 

And finally, Louis the 18 lost his power for three reasons 

• didn't let anyone vote 
• he was conservative (more than the Wigs) 
• and he didn't bow down to the wished of the aristocrats.
