Answer:

The Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919 or the Rowlatt Act.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rowlatt Act allowed the British government to imprison people without due trial for a variety of actions such as criticizing or impugning the British government. The Act was in direct retaliation to a surge in Indian nationalists who sought revolution against the British.
