  3. C
    William Wilberforce successfully passed the 1833 Act to ban the trade of enslaved people from Africa, while the earlier 1807 Act was a domestic law that only abolished the ownership of enslaved people within the borders of the United Kingdom.
  4. D
    The 1833 Act was the first piece of British legislation to address the slave trade, making it illegal to buy or sell enslaved people, whereas the 1807 Act was the final step that granted freedom to all remaining enslaved people in the colonies.

Cevap

The correct statement is that the 1807 Act criminalized the buying and selling of enslaved people (the trade), while the 1833 Act abolished the institution of slavery itself (emancipation) across the Empire.
The correct answer accurately reflects the two-stage legal process of abolition in the British Empire. First, in 1807, the Slave Trade Act made the buying and selling of people illegal. Second, in 1833, the Emancipation Act abolished the practice and status of slavery throughout the Empire, freeing those who were already enslaved.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the purpose of the 1807 Act.
It focused on the commercial infrastructure, making it illegal to buy and sell slaves in the British Empire.
This was the first major legislative victory for the abolitionist movement led by the Quakers and William Wilberforce.
2
Identify the purpose of the 1833 Act.
It focused on the legal status of individuals, abolishing slavery throughout the British Empire.
Known as the Emancipation Act, it went beyond the trade to end the practice of slavery itself.
3
Compare the two to distinguish their impacts.
1807 = End of the Trade; 1833 = End of the Institution.
Abolishing the trade did not immediately free those already enslaved, which required the subsequent 1833 legislation.
