House of Commons approves People's Budget, followed by House of Lords rejection.

The People's Budget was proposed by Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd George, aiming to fund social welfare programs through taxation of the wealthy. The House of Commons, representing the elected officials, passed the budget. However, the unelected House of Lords rejected it, sparking a constitutional crisis. The rejection by the House of Lords, dominated by conservative peers, highlighted the ongoing power struggle between the two houses of Parliament. This event underscored the tension between the aristocracy and the growing influence of the working and middle classes in British politics. The rejection of the People's Budget by the House of Lords led to calls for reform of the House of Lords and the broader constitutional system. Ultimately, the crisis was temporarily resolved with the Parliament Act of 1911, which limited the power of the House of Lords to veto money bills. The passing and subsequent rejection of the People's Budget revealed the evolving dynamics of power and representation in British politics, setting the stage for future reforms and changes in the political landscape. #People'sBudget #HouseofLords #ConstitutionalCrisis #UKPolitics
