ABSTRACT
The British pattern is worth special attention because Britain's experiences offer to other countries an example of how peaceful transition can be made. The British people achieved this peaceful solution through practical experiments which started as early as the seventeenth century, when Britain became the first nation to attempt political transformation into a modern state. In constructing the channel of communication, one British group was especially noteworthy, namely the Whig aristocracy. The Whigs advanced their own economic reform agenda as early as the 1770s and 1780s, and they proposed bills in parliaments to make themselves leaders of the parliamentary reform movement. The parliamentary system became a discordant remnant of the past, posing not only a threat to the order and stability of the country but also a hindrance to Britain's long-term evolution. The Society agitated for parliamentary reform and launched widespread activities such as petitions, publications, propaganda tours and even public meetings.
