Poor Law

Read a random definition: debt adjustment

A quick definition of Poor Law:

Poor Law: The Poor Law was a law in Britain that helped people who were very poor. It started a long time ago and was paid for by taxes on property. The law was changed in 1948 and replaced by a new law called the National Assistance Act.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Poor Law was a British law that provided relief to paupers. It was originally implemented on the parish level and supported by property taxes. The law was replaced by the National Assistance Act in 1948.

Example: In the 19th century, the Poor Law was used to provide assistance to those who were unable to support themselves. This included the elderly, disabled, and unemployed individuals who were living in poverty. The law required each parish to provide relief to those in need, which was funded by taxes on property owners.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the Poor Law was used to provide support to those who were unable to support themselves. The law required each parish to provide relief to those in need, which helped to alleviate poverty in the community. However, the law was criticized for being harsh and punitive towards those who were receiving assistance, and it was eventually replaced by the National Assistance Act.

LSAT can be one of the drills
