Reform Act
noun
- an act framed to amend the system of parliamentary representation, especially those introduced in Britain during the 19th century改革法案（尤指19世纪改革英国议会选举制度的法案）。
The first Reform Act (1832) disenfranchised various rotten boroughs and lowered the property qualification, widening the electorate by about 50 per cent to include most of the male members of the upper middle class. The second (1867) doubled the electorate to about 2 million men by again lowering the property qualification, and the third (1884) increased it to about 5 million.
