Lionel Nathan Freiherr de Rothschild MP (Member of Parliment) Had to resign due to jewish disablities act failing to pass (1 jan 1847 ano – 1 jan 1849 ano)

Descrição:

Lionel de Rothschild was first elected to the British House of Commons as one of four Members of Parliament for the City of London constituency.[6] Because Jews were at that point still barred from sitting in the chamber due to the Christian oath required to be sworn in, Prime Minister Lord John Russell introduced a Jewish Disabilities Bill to remove the problem with the oath.[7] In 1848, the bill was approved by the House of Commons but was twice rejected by the House of Lords.[8] After being rejected again by the Upper House in 1849, Rothschild resigned his seat and stood again winning in a by-election to strengthen his claim.[9]
