(i) The laws allowing the British Government to restrict the import of corn is known as the "Corn Laws".
(ii) These laws were abolished because the industrialists and urban dwellers were unhappy with high food prices; as a result of which they forced the abolition of the Corn Laws.
Result: Food could be imported into Britain at a much cheaper rate.
