Extension of the Suffrage in Victorian Debate
The article argues against the idea that majority rule is always right in suffrage matters. It compares Europe’s religious shifts and Britain’s war storms to show that intelligence and property duties should guide voting rights. It favors a social standard rooted in English habits and argues against universal suffrage, proposing property as a partial test and noting potential two million new voters under a household-suffrage extension.
