As Britain entered the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a new ideology was transforming political and social principles -economic of the nation: liberalism. Deeply rooted in the ideals of liberty and independence of the Enlightenment period and the French and American Revolutions, liberalism supported self-governing constitutional government whose primary concerns were protecting the people and their natural rights against internal and external forces and to maintain public institutions. It also centered on a laissez-faire economy that encouraged free trade and the pursuit of self-interest. Furthermore, people lived in a society based on meritocracy where anyone, according to liberalism, could achieve the goals. The poor were left to fend for themselves, because government interference would limit individual freedom, lead to government dependence, and interfere with the natural laws of society. the market. Because of these liberal values, the Poor Law was passed in 1834, which made workhouses the only source of relief for the needy. He initially promised that the most disadvantaged would be housed and cared for in the workshops in exchange for daily work, but instead officials and owners set the house's working conditions so low that they become a terrifying last resort for many. The poster "The New Poor Law" of 1837 criticized the role of British liberal policies during the 19th century in demonstrating the false stigma attached to poverty and the lack of social support among citizens. The poster for the "New Poor Law" reveals that although the repercussions of an industrial policy on society have been declared natural, but unfortunately little has been done to prevent disaster from occurring or to help the people who suffer. By keeping the working and living conditions of the poor at such a low level, the profit margin of the middle and upper classes increases and can be used to invest in factories, businesses, etc. The laissez-faire economy and minimal government structure allows the rich to prosper. at the expense of the working class. In many ways, the progress of the Industrial Revolution may not be progress afterward.
