a member of a group of people in Britain in the 1830s and 1840s who supported the People's Charter. This document demanded improvements to the political system, such as the right to vote for all adult men, the right to vote in secret, and the right to become a Member of Parliament without owning land. Over three million people signed the Charter, and some Chartists took part in political violence, but most of the changes they demanded were not made until much later.宪章派：在1830年代和1840年代在英国支持《人民宪章》的一群人的成员。该文件要求改善政治制度，例如对所有成年男子的投票权，秘密投票权以及在不拥有土地的情况下成为国会议员的权利。超过300万人签署了《宪章》，一些宪章主义者参加了政治暴力活动，但他们要求的大多数变更直到很久以后才进行。
