Từ vựng:

sentence of attainder

Giải nghĩa:

/ˈsɛntəns əv əˈteɪndər/ – Phrase


Definition: (Anh) kết án tước các quyền dân sự và tịch thu tài sản.

A more thorough explanation: A sentence of attainder is a legal declaration by a court or legislature that someone is guilty of a crime and is subject to the punishment of attainder, which historically included the forfeiture of property, civil rights, and even death. This form of punishment has been largely abolished in modern legal systems due to concerns about fairness and due process.

Example: The bill proposed by the government includes a clause that would impose a sentence of attainder on individuals found guilty of treason.
