Repeal

Major repeals in history include:

The repeal of the Act Of Union 1800 , providing for the union between Great Britain and Ireland as the United Kingdom. The union was partially repealed in 1922, when under the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 twenty-six of the thirty-two Irish Counties became the Irish Free State and ceased to be part of the United Kingdom .

The Corn Laws in England , repealed in 1846 after a passionate campaign.

Prohibition in the United States . See Repeal Of Prohibition . Enacted by the Eighteenth Amendment To The United States Constitution , it proved to be so ineffective that it had to be repealed by the Twenty-first Amendment . This is the only Constitutional Amendment to be repealed in the U.S., and notably also the only time the Constitution was used to set Social Policy .

If a campaign for the repeal of a particular law gains particular moment, an advocate of the repeal might become known as a "repealer". This happened in 19th century Britain to a group in favour of the re-separation of Ireland from the United Kingdom

Many repeals are the result of changes in things, such as century-old laws against Dancing or Cabaret s. Some repeals are of extremely old and outdated laws that now seem downright bizarre, such as one from the 19th Century against Bathing .

Recall

Repeal can also mean the sound made if a Bell peals again after the initial peal. Actually, according to post-fractal acoustic theory, a bell can '''repeal''' at inaudible frequencies an infinite number of times between uses.
