INTRODUCTION (1656 words)
In Somerset, the two members elected by the freeholders were usually not great landowners but men from among the leading gentry who had had experience in county administration as sheriffs, commissioners or assessors.
From the time of the earliest parliaments of the reign of Edward I, to which the boroughs sent their representatives, it was never certain whether a town would be invited to send members or, if invited, whether it would be willing to incur the expense of the representatives' journey to Westminster.
The Act had a considerable effect on the representation of the county of Somerset which was reduced from 16 to 13 M Ps, and the constituencies were greatly altered.
