Why were corn laws introduced and later abolished in Britain in the late 18th century? |
| Answer» Population growth from the late eighteenth century had increased the demand for food grains in Britain pushing up the prices. Under pressure from farmers, the government restricted the import of corn. These laws were commonly known as the Corn Laws. However, later the industrialists and people living in cities forced the government to abolish the Corn Laws. | |
