Broad Bottom Ministry

The Broad Bottom Ministry was a coalition administration of 1744–46 and 1746–54 in the Parliament of Great Britain.^[1] It was led by the Pelham brothers, Henry Pelham as Prime Minister and the Duke of Newcastle as Secretary of State. Early in 1746 the king wished a change of Prime Minister, and Pelham lost power, but only briefly (see Short-lived Ministry). Returning to office he put in place a strengthened broad coalition. It persisted until his death in 1754.^[2]
