"The Riot Act" by Great Britain. Parliament, is a historical legal document established in the early 1700s that describes how the British government planned to control riots and illegal gatherings. It gives authorities the power to break up groups of people causing trouble and punishes those who don't listen when told to go home, defining felony charges, which would lead to very serious punishments, even death. It shows how important it was for the government to keep order and protect itself during a time with lots of political problems – and it allowed officials to use force if needed to stop riots without getting in trouble themselves.

Summary
About the AuthorThe Parliament of Great Britain was formed in May 1707 following the ratification of the Acts of Union by both the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland. The Acts ratified the treaty of Union which created a new unified Kingdom of Great Britain and created the parliament of Great Britain located in the former home of the English parliament in the Palace of Westminster, near the City of London. This lasted nearly a century, until the Acts of Union 1800 merged the separate British and Irish Parliaments into a single Parliament of the United Kingdom with effect from 1 January 1801.
