Chartism, was a movement for political reform in the United Kingdom from 1838 to 1857, campaigning to allow all men in the country to vote at a time when only property owners were allowed a vote.

Vladimir Lenin described chartism as: “the first broad, truly mass and politically organised proletarian revolutionary movement”.[1]
