Question 1

What role did the Dissenters play in the rise of the British Liberal Party and why?

Accepted Answer

The Dissenters were a group of largely middle-class reformers whose religious beliefs linked them to the workers' campaign for reform.As dissenters from the Church of England,the Dissenters had been discriminated against,barred from holding positions within the military or civil service;they were also prohibited from entering the nation's premier universities of Oxford or Cambridge.They no doubt resented paying taxes to the Church,which was staffed with the sons of the gentry and ran the interests of their class.The fact that dissent ran across class lines was vital for the liberal vote,and through the unity of the workers and the Dissenters,a new reform bill was passed in England that established a House of Representatives responsive to their interests.
