Essentially the same as today. A constitutional monarchy. The king was George(II) who ascended the throne in 1728. He was of the Hanoverian Dynasty. His mother tongue was German, and English was a second language two him. The modern monarchy's German legacy. He had a parliament of two houses. The House of Lords, and the House of Commons. There was also a Prime minister and Cabinet.. It is the same arrangement as today. Like now, the King signed the Bills from ~Parliament ( Royal Assent) to make the Bills, Acts of Parliament. Like now the king goes to parliament once a year for the State Opening of Parliament. The difference today from 1750. ;- #1 Parliaments are limited to 5 years. #2; Constituencies now truly account for everyone, as opposed to the 'Rotten Boroughs'. Enfranchisement. #3 ; The Parliament Act of the early 1900's limits the Finance Bills(Budget) to discussion in the House of Commons only. It is a very robust and flexible system. There are probably many more Acts delineating Laws of the country and Parliament. Then as now the King is the Head of the Military Services (Army, Royal Nevy and lately Royal Air Force). King George(II) was the last British Monarch to be on the battlefield, whilst the battle was in progress, at Dettingen, Germany. Then as now the King is also the Head of the Judiciary (Courts of Law). The as now the king is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Then as now , by the fact that the king/monarch is head of Parliament/Military Services/Judiciary/Church of England. prevents any one of these four organisation of the state interfering with any of the other organisations. e.g. The Army cannot 'kick out' parliament. Parliament cannot tell the army which wars to fight; it has to be done through the King. Parliament does NOT judge an accused person. The Judiciary does NOT make the laws, but only interprets them. I suggest you read ' Walter Bagehot' ( pronounced 'Bagot') , the great Victorian constitutionalist.
The Industrial Revolution ended in 1914. This manufacturing boom began as early as 1750.
The industrial revolution, which began in England and spread throughout Europe after 1750, improved technology that transformed manufacturing goods and delivering them to market; this transformation led to wealth that was used to make communities healthier places to live, decreasing the Crude Death Rate (CDR) and increasing the Natural Increase Rate (NIR).
Around 6.5 million people lived in Britain in 1750.
The major towns of Britain in 1750 were: London, Bristol, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and Glasgow.
The American Revolution began in 1776, not the 1750's.
No: Britain was, basically, no more modern in 1750 than anywhere else. Go forward 100 years & there are immense changes, Britain is by then at the forefront of the industrialised world. The Industrial Revolution has made great changes, but in 1750 this is undreampt of.
The population grew from 11m in 1750 to 40m in 1900.
