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

Found another paragraph

Disraeli and the Conservative party pushed through the Reform BIll of 1867. By giving the vote to many working-class men, the new leaw almost doubled the size of the electorate. In the 1880s, it was the turn of Gladstone and the Liberal party to extend suffrage. Their reforms gave the vote to farmers and most other men. By century's end, almost universal male suffrage, the secret ballot, and other Chartist ambitions had been achieved

Read closely. The answer is "A". The 1832 act refers to the middle class. The 1867 act (part of the question) refers to working-class men.

C . There was a theory that Roosevelt was seeking to unconstitutionally amplify the energy of the presidency although this linked extra to his new deal economic coverage regulations instead than to army coverage regulations. The question is cleverly phrased.
