The Reform Bill of 1867 granted suffrage to
a working-class men.
b women.
c middle-class men.
d everyone over 30 years old.
Here is an excerpt from my book, it hints the answer indirectly, but im still not sure if its A.
" Parliament finally passed the Great Reform Act in 1832. It redistributed seats in the House of Commons, giving representation to large towns and cities and eliminating rotten boroughs. It also enlarged the electorate, the body of people allowed to vote, by granting suffrage to more men. The act did, however, keep a property requirement for voting. The Reform Act of 1832 did not bring full democracy, but it did give a greater political voice to middle-class men. Landowning nobles, howver, remained a powerful force in the government and in the economy.
Anyway, I just want your peoples' opinions
