Detailed Solution

The Corn Laws restricted the import of corn to England.
The Corn Code was a tax and a restriction imposed from 1815 to 1846 in the United Kingdom. The maize laws caused the price of "maize," which included barley, maize, wheat, and all other grains, to increase. The rules were designed to protect English farmers from importing cheap grain abroad. The move aimed to safeguard English farmers from buying imported grain after the end of the Napoleonic wars. As a result, many English farmers left their jobs, moved to cities and towns, and some went overseas. This situation led to indirect agricultural globalisation and rapid urbanisation, which are essential for industrial growth.
