Blasphemous Act - New Capenna Commander

The Six Acts were legislation introduced by the Liverpool ministry to prevent future disturbances following the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester on 16 August 1819. The acts were intended to suppress any meetings for the purpose of radical reform. Élie Halévy considered them a panic-stricken extension of "the counter-revolutionary terror ... under the direct patronage of Lord Sidmouth and his colleagues"; some later historians have treated them as relatively mild gestures towards law and order, only tentatively enforced.
