People became concerned about the percentage of the poor living in poverty and the extent of poverty in which they were living. And so a series of investigations into poverty in Britain were carried out. Research showed that most people could not help themselves get out of poverty due to contributing factors. Therefore the argument arose that the state government should have a greater role in helping those living in poverty - this put pressure on the government. New reforms were introduced in an attempt to solve the problems associated with Britain’s poverty such as National Security, National Efficiency, Social Awareness, New Liberalism and Municipal Socialism.
In the old poor law going into a work house was for the able bodied poor and outdoor relief was for the incompetent poor, the amount of money being given out was tried to be minimised. It was also seen as being inefficient as people such as Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo noticed that many people became too reliant upon the poor law and handouts, they started to lose independence and didn't see the point in working hard when they could just receive money from the poor rate system. If people didn't receive enough money in their wages to cover the costs for basic needs such as food, their wages would be 'topped' up, allowing them to be able to afford the necessities. However in some ways the way in
Even though this is portrayed to be terrible some good came from it the monastic buildings that remained such as Tewkesbury were brought by local communities and served the lay population as parish churches, the abbeys that survived became cathedrals such as the one in Westminster, this was a great advantage to the Catholics since there was more places they could worship. Aside from the cultural impact the impact on local population was atrocious. The dissolution put an end to monastic charity this is the reason for the increasing level of poverty because the monasteries gave alms to the poor. Also the rising population, pressure on land and rapid inflation cause further poverty through loss of monastic charity. Because of this there were people living in the most poverty, begging starving and helpless, this had an extremely negative impact on England because there were many people who relied on monastic charity for their survival.
This was largely due to the failure of the old one. Due to the rising costs, this had on the local community parishes. It was thought that the government should intervene and help the poor. The parishes were opposed to this as they believed in the concept of Lassez-Fare. Due to the implantation of the new act this seen the abolishment of the out door relief.

The markets then started to bring in less money as there were fewer products being sold to the markets. They then had to raise the taxes leaving more people in poverty, which also caused many deaths. This is just one reason for the collapse for the Empire. The second reason for the collapse of the army was Religion, Christianity that had a massive influence on a lot of the population of
He required that his subjects “loan him the equivalent of five subsidies” and although it was “opposed by significant numbers in the localities,” the taxation still occurred as the government had “employed all its powers to eliminate resistance”. Moreover, the Forced Loan only happened as a result of Charles dismissing the 1626 Parliament, forfeiting his opportunity of obtaining further grants for his wartime expenditure. Parliament had already been antagonised by Charles’ decision to dismiss them and now that Charles was forcing taxation on others in order to fund his wartime expenditure, due to disastrous foreign policy which Parliament largely disagreed with, it is clear that the Forced Loan had worsened relations greatly. In addition to this, the financing of foreign policy also affected the relationship between Crown and Parliament. As stated previously, the Forced Loan existed to fund England’s wars considering that Parliament was reluctant to grant Charles further subsidies.
