Abstract
The paper dealt with the House of Lords against the background of the development of the suffrage in Austria (Pre-Lithuania) in the sense of its gradual opening to ever larger groups of citizens, until the introduction of universal, direct and equal suffrage for men.
First, he traced the gradual electoral reforms and the circumstances of their implementation, then the situation in 1905/1906, when the government, the Chamber of Deputies and the monarch finally embraced the idea of universal and equal suffrage. In this situation, he tried to show how all these circumstances were reflected in the views of the House of Commons and its final decision.
