The Chartists were a British working-class political movement in the 1830s and 1840s. They took their name from the People’s Charter, a list of demands they wanted written into law. To many people then, the list sounded wild: all men should vote (not only men with property), voting should be secret, districts should be fairer, and a man without land should still be able to sit in Parliament. They held huge meetings, sent giant petitions to London, and a few turned to riots. The government treated some as criminals and sent them to prison colonies in Australia. They did not win in their own lifetime, but later British law took up most of what they asked for. The name is a proper noun for that group, not a word for anyone who likes charts or graphs.
