Ans. With the population growth and the expansion of urban sector and industry the demand for agricultural products went up, pushing up foodgrain prices. Under pressure from landed groups, the Government also restricted the import of corn. The laws allowing the Government to do this is commonly known as Corn Laws. Unhappy with high food prices, the industrialists and urban dwellers forced the abolition of Corn Laws.
Abolition of Corn Laws allowed the merchants in England to import foodgrains from abroad at lower costs. The major effects of this were:

(ii) It also resulted in the rise of a prosperous capitalist class in the urban areas.
