A boycott is a voluntary abstention from using or buying goods or services, often as a form of protest. A repeal, on the other hand, is the removal or reversal of a law, rule, or regulation. While a boycott is a form of protest, a repeal is a legal action taken to cancel existing legislation.
Repeal.
Oh, dude, that's like when you're just like, "Nah, I'm good." The term for canceling an act or law is "repeal." It's like when you're at a party and you're just like, "I'm out," but for laws and stuff.
"Revoke" is the synonym for "repeal" in this sentence. Both words mean to officially cancel or withdraw a law.
To take back or cancel a law means to repeal it or invalidate it, effectively removing it from legal effect. This can be done through the passage of a new law, a court ruling, or an executive order depending on the legal system in place.
A boycott is a refusal to buy goods as a punishment or protest. The word comes from Captain Charles Boycott, a land agent in Ireland who was subject to social ostracism organized by the irish Land League in 1880. He tried to evict several tenants, and in turn they and others in the town began shunning Boycott. His workers stopped working for him, local businessmen stopped trading with him and even the postman refused to deliver his mail.
