Military Disarmament Act

The Military Disarmament Act was a law passed by the Galactic Senate of the New Republic in the wake of the Galactic Civil War. The Republic's chancellor, Mon Mothma, wanted to reduce the military power of the Republic in an effort to decentralize it and avoid the mistakes made by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. The law was passed, leading to a reduction in military capabilities for the Republic. After the rise of the First Order, General Leia Organa formed the Resistance after the Republic did not consider the First Order a military threat.
