 It is not clear how far Price thinks the franchise should be extended. The logic of his position would seem to suggest universal suffrage, but Price is no real advocate for it. He shares a common concern about the qualifications of the uneducated and dependent to be voters. Writing of the election of British Members of Parliament before the Great Reform Act of 1832, Price complains not only of the small size of the electorate, but also that voters are often drawn from the “meanest persons”, the “lowest of the people”. One worry was that, insofar as they were dependent on landowners or employers, their vote would not be genuinely independent. Price appears never to have suggested extending the suffrage to women, perhaps because he thought them too ill educated and too dependent on their husbands or other male relatives. Price, unlike his friend Wollstonecraft, appears never to have questioned the status quo in this respect.
