What is the definition of attainder?
Attainder means the extinguishment of a person's civil rights upon conviction of a crime, usually treason. The Constitution forbids Congress from passing a "bill of attainder". A bill of attainder is an act by the legislature that some particular person is guilty of a crime then taking away his rights all without the benefit of a trial in the courts. Such a practice would take away the rights to trial by jury, to face one's accusers and to be convicted only upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt among other rights citizens of this country have. The legislature has the right to pass laws to declare types of actions criminal and set the penalties for violating them, but it does not have the power to convict persons of those crimes.

What writs of habeas corpus bill of attainder and ex post facto laws have in common?
(also known as an act or writ of attainder) is an act of legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them without benefit of a trial. The United States Constitution forbids both the federal and state governments to enact bills of attainder, in Article 1, Sections 9 and 10, respectively. It was considered an excess or abuse of the British monarchy and Parliament. They are fundamentally impossible to abolish in United Kingdom because of parliamentary sovereignty - any statute purporting to abolish bills of attainder would be superseded and by implication repealed by any later parliament actually passing an act of attainder - but the successive recent Parliaments have exercised such restraint in using this abusive and unpopular power that no bills of attainder have been passed after 1798. Attainder as such was also a legal consequence of convictions in courts of law, but this ceased to be a part of punishment in 1870 [1]
