After defining the term ‘suffrage’ and what it means in contemporary Britain, the film outlines the historical restrictions on the right to vote. It then touches on some of the struggles that took place in the 19th century in the fight for ‘One man, One vote’, and the extension of the vote to property-owning men. The film goes on to talk about the extension of suffrage in Britain in the early 20th century, following the social and political upheaval of World War One, culminating in universal suffrage for all adults over 21 in 1928.
Illustrative examples are chosen from popular schemes of learning, so learners will be able to confidently apply their knowledge and appreciate the dynamic nature of the concept being explained.
