Which law tried to appease military unrest during his presidency?
Public Health Law
Law of Due Obedience
Economic Emergency Law
Civil Liberties Act
Answer
The Law of Due Obedience absolved service members of criminal liability if they followed illegal orders. Enacted during Ulysses S. Grant's presidency, it aimed to quell military discontent and defuse conflicts within the military hierarchy, particularly those stemming from the Civil War. This provision, however, proved controversial and was repealed shortly after Grant left office.
