Many politicians had to meet the needs of the working class, which made up the majority of the population.
Also, the rich business owners had all the money, this led to power. The business owners believed they could rule over politicians and since money for campaigning and organizing was needed they were right. The business owners basically picked who they wanted to run for office. This was the rise of machine politics that corrupted Europe. The industrial Revolution also impacted society morally. Lastly, the Industrial Revolution impacted morals. Most women and children were worked until death during the revolution and for no pay.
Men worked low wages and extensive hours. If any worker had strikes they would be replaced by immigrants immediately who would work for lower pay.
