Xavier Jenkins · Answer 2

Bill of Attainder.

Explanation:

Bill of Attainder is a legislative act which may declare an individual or groups of individuals as offenders and may arrest them without a trial. It is the process of detaining someone without any judicial proceeding or trial. The Bill of Attainder is also called as Bill of Penalties or Writ of Attainder.

In this case, a legislative decision can declare Bernardine and other protesters as a threat to the social and political structure of the society and can be imprisoned without a trial through the Bill of Attainder.
