official ending of a law or system
The act of officially ending a law, system, or practice so that it no longer exists.
Schema d'uso:
the abolition of [something]
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse "abolition" with "abolishment". "Abolition" is the standard and much more common form in modern English. Another common mistake is using it without "of" before the object; in most cases you should say "the abolition of [something]", not "the abolition [something]".
