Reformation (ref-or-ma's hon), The. The great religious revolution in the 16th century, which led to the establishment of the Protestant churches. The Reformation a umed different aspects, and resulted in alterations of discipline or doctrine more ✓ or le fundamental in different countries and in different stages of its progre . Various reformers of great influence, as Wyclif and Hu , had appeared before the 16th century, but the Reformation proper began nearly simultaneously in Germany under the lead of Luther and in Switzerland under the lead of Zwingli. The chief points urged by the Reformers were the need of justification by faith; the use and authority of the Scriptures, and the right of private judgment in their interpretation; and the abandonment of the doctrine of transubstantiation, the adoration of the Virgin Mary and saints, the supremacy of the Pope, and various other doctrines and rites regarded by the Reformers as unscriptural. In the German Reformation the leading incidents were the publication at Wittenberg of Luther's ninety-five theses against indulgences in 1517; the excommunication of Luther in 1520; his testimony before the Diet of Worms in 1521; the spread of the principles in many of the German states, as He e, Saxony, and Brandenburg, and the opposition to them by the emperor; Diet and Confe ion of Augsburg in 1530; and the prolonged struggle between the Protestants and the Catholics, ending with comparative religious equality in the peace of Pa au in 1552. The Reformation spread in Switzerland under Zwingli and Calvin, in France, Hungary, Bohemia, the Scand in avian countries, the Low Countries, etc. In Scotland it was introduced by Knox about 1560. In England it led in the reign of Henry VIII. to the abolition of the papal supremacy and the liberation from papal control of the Church of England, which, after a short Roman Catholic reaction under Mary, was firmly established under Elizabeth. In many countries the Reformation occasioned an increased strength and zeal in the Roman Catholic - Church, sometimes called the Counter-Reformation. Reformation Symphony.

Reform Bill. In English history, a bill for the purpose of enlarging the number of voters in elections for members of the House of Commons, and of removing inequalities in representation. The first of these bills, pa ed in 1832 by the Liberals after a violent struggle (often called specifically the Reform Bill), disfranchised many rotten boroughs, gave increased representation to the large towns, and enlarged the number of the holders of county and borough franchise. The effect of the second Reform Bill, pa ed by the Conservatives under Liberal pre ure in 1867, was in the direction of a more democratic representation, and the same tendency was further shown in the Franchise Bill pa ed by Liberals in 1884. This measure [The Reform Bill of 1832] disfranchised fifty-six nomination boroughs which returned 111 members, took away one member from thirty others, and two from Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, thus leaving vacant 143 seats. It gave sixty-five additional members to the counties, two members each to Manchester, Leeds, Birming ham, and nineteen large towns, including the metropolitan all of which had been previously unrepresented. In the counties copyholders and leaseholders for years were added as voters to the 40s. freeholders; and tenants at will pay ing £50 a year (the Chandos clause) were enfranchised. In the towns a £10 household franchise was established, and the rights of freemen to vote were restricted. districts, and one member each to twenty-one
