Identify the specific legislation mentioned in the question
The 1807 Act of Parliament (Abolition of the Slave Trade Act)

2
Determine the method of enforcement for this specific act
The use of the Royal Navy to intercept ships
The law made it illegal to trade slaves in British ships or from British ports, requiring a naval presence to enforce the ban at sea.
