Explanation:

In the historical British parliamentary system, limited suffrage was a major issue. Only a small percentage of the population, mainly wealthy land - owners, could vote. Also, large cities were under - represented as the system did not adjust well to population shifts. Equal representation of large and small cities was not a problem but rather a sign of the system's unfairness as large cities should have had more representation. Business owners were not the main group with exclusive voting rights compared to landowners.

Answer:

• Only five percent of the population was able to vote.
• Only wealthy landowners were able to vote.
• Large cities were extremely underrepresented.
