Wellington's beef

Britain emerged from the Napoleonic wars politically untroubled and democratically 'balanced'. Many years earlier, the Act of Toleration 1689 and the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1778 had instilled a degree of religious tolerance. The economy was strong and Britain controlled the world's sea lanes after Lord Nelson's famous naval victories. Thus, there was little threat of revolution in post-war Britain Ã¢â‚¬â€œ making political reform a very low priority. Such a sense of well-being would probably explain why the Duke of Wellington, the conquering hero of Waterloo, considered the political system incapable of improvement.
