They were issued between 1799 and 1800 by the United Kingdom's parliament due to the rise and spread that the Labour Movement was taking, and it simplified the legal prosecution process of Trade Unions, and it allowed their suppression trough government forces, including the army. However, due to the vast spread the Labour Movement was taking, they could not be applied in full, and they were  abolished by the Parliament in 1824 after popular and workers´ pressure. This lead to being the first country to allow trade unions.
