What is bill of attainder?

A bill of attainder is a legislative act that declares a person or a group of people guilty of a crime without the benefit of a trial. It is a violation of the principles of due process and is considered unconstitutional in many democratic countries.

What are the types of bill of attainder?

There are two main types of bills of attainder: 1. Bills of pains and penalties: These bills impose punishment on individuals or groups without going through the judicial system. They can include fines, imprisonment, or other forms of punishment. 2. Bills of attainder proper: These bills declare individuals or groups guilty of a crime and impose punishments such as loss of property, exile, or even death.
