The four penal laws, enacted in the 17th and 18th centuries in England, were designed to restrict the rights of Catholics and dissenters. They included prohibitions on holding public office, owning land, and receiving education, as well as restrictions on worship. These laws aimed to enforce Protestant supremacy and suppress Catholic influence, particularly after events like the Popish Plot and the Glorious Revolution. Over time, these laws were gradually repealed, culminating in the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829.
