What is the act of 1807

 

This act of America gives special powers to the American President. Under the Revolt Act of 1807, the President may allow military action in American cities during protests in the country. Can deploy army in the country.

The act was signed into law by Thomas Jefferson and was last enacted in 1992 during the Rodney King riots.

The Posit Comitus Act of 1878 stipulates that the federal government cannot use the military as an active police force within the borders of the US, but its power is disputed under this circumstance.

"The president can use the military exclusively in Washington and the Posit Comitas Act does not prevent this," says Dan Lamothe, quoting The Washington Post.
