Eighteenth-Century Political Participation & Electoral Culture
18th-century Britain is notorious for corrupt and restrictive politics, when few could vote, bribery and debauchery were commonplace. But it was also an age when modern democracy was being shaped.

A question for #EarlyModern #skystorians: What does 'exped' mean as a response to a petition, in this case to the 17th-century House of Lords?
I'd assumed 'expedite', but that doesn't quite make sense in some contexts. 🗃️ Examples here:
