    Most of the

    King
    George II
    had fewer
    powers than
    kings had
    in the
    seventeenth
    century
    People did
    not know
    that germs
    caused
    disease and
    do little to
    fight
    diseases
    like
    smallpox
    and
    diptheria,
    which killed
    many
    people

    Most men
    could now
    vote, but
    women
    could not.

    Louis
    pasteur had
    discovered
    that germs
    cause
    disease.
    This led to
    vaccinations
    being
    developed
    for
    diphtheria
    and other
    diseases
