Mass national citizenship was bargained out in Britain after 1750.
Evidence
During the ninety years following 1750, however, two monumental changes altered the everyday uses of those rights, and established new ones: (1) the formation of a new class system, more strongly marked by industrial capitalism, and (2) bargaining out of mass citizenship on a national scale. In both regards, British experience preceded that of most European neighbors. β Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 363
