Chartists were people who supported the 1838 'People's Charter'.
The Charter called for Universal Male Suffrage, Parliamentary voting by Secret Ballot, Salaried Members of Parliament (so that a political career was open to men with no private income) - and a host of other ideas, most of which we now take for granted.
The political reforms of the later Nineteenth Century nearly all originated in Chartism.

What did the suffragists and the charitists in have common?
well i am not sure if they have much in common i know that they were both protest groups in the 20th century and both tried to gain a certain right, but other than that there is not many.. although there are many differences present such as suffragists are non violent protestors and chartists are violent, the suffragists were aiming to gain women the vote and chartists were trying to gain rights for poor people(i think), suffragists were led by women and charitists (i think) were men(or mainly men) leading them. etc i hope this helped
