Question

State one reason why you think
the Sedition Act of 1870 was
arbitrary? In what ways does
the Sedition Act of 1870
contradict the rule of law?
​

Answer 1

This law was considered arbitrary because persons were arrested for a variety of reasons that were seldom clarified beforehand as well as because those arrested were often kept in jail without a fair trial. As British can arrest any person protesting against the government without a fair trail, it contradicted the rule of law.
