What scandalous practices did Upton Sinclair expose in his novel The Jungle How did the American public Roosevelt and the Congress respond?
a) Upton Sinclair exposed the horrific conditions of the meat industry in America during the early 1900s, which involved rat poison, rotten meat, and dead rats themselves being put into products such as sausage, and ground beef. Older beef was saved for weeks and then bleached to be sold as new. There are also reports by him that men fell into vats of boiling lard, and some of their remains were sold. b) Roosevelt immediately responded, since he had already been suspicious of food quality in the US due to his experience in the Spanish-American war, where he had more members of his unit die from malnutrition than combat. He had Congress pass the Meat Inspection Act, requiring that companies be inspected for a series of codes and health violations.
Who is Stephen Langston?
Stephen Langston was king of Norman ruled England following the death of King Henry I. He was an usurper king, esentially stealing the crown from Queen Matilda, the daughter of Henry. He is unique in that the "common" people of England proclaimed him king over the hated Godfrey, husband of Matilda and Matilda herself, being a woman and seen as unfit to rule (though her father intended her to rule). Stephen however was an incompetent ruler and soon there was civil war. Eventually, Matilda's teenage son arrived in England with an army to reclaim his kingdom, a deal was struck and Stephen, having no heir, agreed to remain king for the rest of his life (about a year) with Matilda's son as successor, taking the name Henry II. Henry II was probably the best ruler of all of the Angevin kings but is best known as the father of Richard the Lionhearted and the rotten King John. It is rumored that Henry II was actually Stephen Langston's son (due to a rumored tryst with Matilda years earlier) but this is impossible to prove.The Man referred to in the answer above was Stephen of Blois. I am unaware of him ever being called Stephen Langston. It is possible that the person who asked this question was inquiring about Stephen Langton (no s)(1150-1228) who was the Archbishop of Canterbury in England during the reigns of King John and King Henry III. Stephen was a very strong leader and was a key player in the conflicts between King John and Pope Innocent III, sometimes supporting the Pope against John and sometimes John against the Pope but ALWAYS regarding the welfare of the people and Kingdom of England as his first priority.

Why is there a statue of Disraeli in Ormskirk Lancashire?
The roots of this answer have to do with the Reform Act of 1867. The Act did two things; it eliminated rotten boroughs and it enfranchised close to a million voters. When this Act became law, Lancashire got more seats in the House of Commons in Parliament due to the reallocation of representation. For Ormskirk, this gave them direct representation in Parliament, and it enfranchised their male citizens. Because they could now vote, they did. I surmise because Disraeli was a direct champion of this Act, they felt grateful enough to erect a statue of him. Addition by other member: It is not correct to state that the Reform Act of 1867 eliminated "rotten boroughs" - that was achieved by the Reform Act of 1832 (often referred to as the First Reform Act). The Second Reform Act (i.e. that of 1867) gave the vote to male household heads in the industrial towns, and thus helped to eliminate the 'pro-country' bias of the existing elecoral system. Moreover, Ormskirk did not achieve parliamentary represenation until 1885 - for more on this see the Wikipedia entry for Ormskirk (UK Parliamentary Constituency).

What were Rotten boroughs in Britain?
A rotten borough was one that was represented in Parliament but that had very few electors. Until 1832 most English boroughs, whether large or small, had two members in Parliament. The most rotten borough of all was Old Sarum with seven electors. The typical rotten borough had about 25 to 50 electors. As elections were public, many electors sold their votes and rich people were able to buy their way into Parliament.
How and whom did parliament extend suffrage in 1832?
In 1832, the British Parliament extended suffrage through the Reform Act. This act extended voting rights to the middle class by increasing the size of the electorate. It abolished "rotten boroughs" with few voters and redistributed parliamentary seats to more populous urban areas. However, the Act did not extend suffrage to all citizens, as it still excluded women, the working class, and those without property.
