Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"Chartism was oral not literary, and most knew it's six points: universal male suffrage, no property qualifications for Members of Parliament, annual parliaments, constituencies of equal size, payment of MPs, and election by secret ballot. . . . The petition was rejected. Chartism petered out in the 1850s, but within a century all of its demands, except that for annual general elections had become recognized as indispensable to democracy." [Furtado: 1001 Days] "Chartism led to a rise in working-class consciousness in Britain." [Merriman: Modern Europe, p. 637]
