Note :
Formerly attainder was the inseparable consequence of a judicial or legislative sentence for treason or felony ,
and involved the forfeiture of all the real and personal property of the condemned person ,
and such "
corruption of blood "
that he could neither receive nor transmit by inheritance ,
nor could he sue or testify in any court ,
or claim any legal protection or rights .
In England attainders are now abolished ,
and in the United States the Constitution provides that no bill of attainder shall be passed ;
and no attainder of treason (
in consequence of a judicial sentence )
shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture ,
except during the life of the person attainted .
