The tory reactionaries of Anne’s reign seized with avidity the weapon he had forged, and, coupling the subject of dissenting academies with the subject of occasional conformity, delivered a furious onslaught on the whole front of dissent.
The scurrilous and rabid attack on dissent generally, and on dissenting academies in particular, which was opened by Sacheverell and Samuel Wesley, was met, on the one hand, by Defoe’s Shortest Way with the Dissenters (1702) 6 and, on the other hand, by Samuel Palmer’s Vindication (1705).
The Hanoverian succession broke the storm; and, with the reversal of the Schism act and the Occasional Conformity act, the religious existence and civil freedom of dissent were safe.

The Act attempts to ensure that a decision by a birth parent to relinquish a minor child and consent to the child's adoption is informed and voluntary.
This Act's most important provisions are fully compatible with ICPC policies and, indeed, are more comprehensive because they apply not only to interstate adoptive placements, but to all adoptive placements: intrastate as well as interstate, direct as well as agency placements, adoptions of older children and children with special needs as well as of infants.
Although this Act is generally protective of the interests of unwed fathers in receiving notice of a proposed adoption, it is not unconstitutional to deny notice to unwed fathers who do not perform parental duties and who have not taken certain formal steps to acknowledge their paternity; Lehr v.

The immediate cause of the Test Act (the full title of which is 'An act for preventing dangers which may happen from popish recusants') was the king's declaration of indulgence, dispensing with laws inflicting disabilities on Nonconformists.
This act enforced upon all persons filling any office, civil or military, the obligation of taking the oaths of supremacy and allegiance and subscribing a declaration against transubstantiation, and also of receiving the sacrament within three months after admittance to office.
In 1871 the University Tests Act abolished subscriptions to the articles of the Church of England, all declarations and oaths respecting religious belief, and all compulsory attendance at public worship in the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Durham.

 Test Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Act of 7 James I of England provided that all such as were naturalized or restored in blood should receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
The earliest imposition of this test was by the Corporation Act of 1661 enacting that, besides taking the Oath of Supremacy, all members of corporations were within one year after election to receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper according to the rites of the Church of England.
The necessity of receiving the sacrament as a qualification for office was abolished by George IV of England and all acts requiring the taking of oaths and declarations against transubstantiation etc. were repealed by the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829.

 Occasional Conformity Act (1711) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Occasional Conformity Act was an Act of the British Parliament to prevent Nonconformists and Roman Catholics from from taking "occasional" communion in the Church of England in order to become eligible for public office under the Corporation Act and the Test Act.
Under these acts only members of the Church of England were allowed to hold any office of public trust.
Previous Occasional Conformity bills had been debated in 1702 and 1704.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nonconformists
However from 1662, when the Fourth Act of Uniformity had the effect of ejecting from the benefices, acquired during the Commonwealth, a large number of ministers of Puritan proclivities, and of constraining them to organize themselves as separatist sects, the term "Nonconformist" crystallized into the technical name for such sects.
This Act was repealed in 1718, but many of the Nonconformists themselves disapproved of the practice on conscientious grounds, and, though it was often resorted to and caused grave scandals, those who resorted to it cannot be fairly taken as representatives of their sects.
Although by the passing of the Toleration Act of 1689 the condition of the Nonconformists was so much ameliorated, they lapsed in the second quarter of the eighteenth century into the prevailing religious torpor, and seemed to be on the verge of extinction.

 From persecution to toleration in the West Country, 1672-1692.(Protestant non-conformists) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
(1) The 1689 Act of Toleration, or more properly the Act of Exemption, which resulted from the Revolution of 1688, was a politique religious settlement instituted by William III who needed support from Protestant Nonconformists for the new regime.
William acted in cooperation with Parliament issuing a royal Declaration of Indulgence rather than acting unilaterally as had James II in 1687 and 1688 and Charles II in 1672.
Political philosophy such as that articulated in John Locke's Letter Concerning Toleration had little to do with the act's passage, (3) nor had sentiments changed among the Anglican and Calvinist clergy during the preceding decades; both sides used "latitudinarian" as a term of contempt for those who attempted to reach compromises with their opposing numbers.

 The Sin of Conformity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Knowing already about the occasional deviousness of social psychologists, you may immediately suspect (quite rightly) that those seven or eight other volunteers are paid shills of the experimenter, and that they've agreed in advance to agree on the wrong answers, to see whether the one real volunteer will go along or not.
The judgments demanded in conformity studies have ranged from which two pictures have the same number of paratroopers dotting the sky, to which of several arrangements of thumbtacks look more "friendly," to whether volunteers believe they could be happy without any friends at all.
For instance, one of his conformity measures was the student volunteer's response to a request to turn in an extra class assignment by a deadline — behavior that would appear to partake more of obedience to authority than of social conformity, and that might be contaminated by other little-related factors such as procrastinatory tendencies.

 Greene, Provincial America, 1690-1740. Ch. VI.
The commissary had a small part of the episcopal authority; he was to act as counsellor for the clergy of the province and to hold visitations or inquiries into the conduct of ministers, and in rare instances he might suspend a delinquent clergyman.
This act also was antagonized by the Quakers and Catholics; in anticipation of another royal veto, a new bill, without the objectionable clauses, was accepted by the Maryland assembly and became law in 1702.
A provision of this act regarding the discipline of the clergy was objectionable to the bishop of London, and in 1706 it was annulled by the crown; but in the same year a new establishment act was passed without the obnoxious clause and became the permanent law of the province.

The first Catholic Relief Act was passed in 1778; subject to an oath against Stuart claims to the throne and the civil jurisdiction of the Pope, it allowed Roman Catholics in Great Britain to own property, inherit land, and join the army.
He repeated this in 1829, and the resulting commotion led the Duke of Wellington, against his previous judgement, to introduce and carry another major Catholic Relief Act in 1829, removing many of the remaining substantial restrictions on Roman Catholics in the UK.
In fact many minor issues remained, and a succession of further reforms were introduced over time, leaving the Act of Settlement as one of the few provisions left which still appears to discriminate against Roman Catholics, and then only those who wish to be King, Queen, or Royal Consort.
