One of the most controversial and feared powers of parliament, attainder was the extinction of the civil rights and powers of people convicted of treason or other grave felony. Its principal consequences were the forfeiture and escheat of lands and disqualification from holding, inheriting or transmitting land, either directly or through descent. Especially popular during the Reign of Henry VIII, bills of attainder were usually employed to punish persons who had displeased the king. (Essentially abolished in 1870, they were applied to outlaws until 1932, when they were abolished altogether.) As one would expect, their use as a tool of reprisal caused widespread resentment. West [d. 1726] appreciates this resentment, but argues that bills of attainder are justifiable in certain situations and defends their use.

This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1695, this work is a passionate defense of the rights of English citizens against the abuses of state power. Defoe and his collaborator Richard West argue that bills of attainder, which allowed the government to convict people of treason without a trial, violated both the principles of natural justice and the English constitution. Their arguments are as relevant today as they were three centuries ago, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of law and politics.
