Detailed Solution

The Sedition Act was passed in 1870. According to this act, anyone who expressed disapproval or protested the British government might be detained without a trial. The British colonialists are frequently credited with establishing the rule of law in India. There are many reasons why historians disagree with this assertion. Still, two of them are that colonial law was arbitrary and that Indian nationalists were instrumental in shaping the legal system in British India. The Sedition Act of 1870 is one instance of the arbitrary nature that persisted in British law. Within the scope of this act, the concept of sedition was widely construed. Anyone who expresses opposition to or criticism of the British government may be detained without a fair trial.
