In spite of the limited methodology used for determining what is, and what is not a bill of attainder, some elements are:
A. A bill of attainder proper is the administration of death without a trial.
B. Any punishment without trial is a bill of attainder under the doctrine of inclusion of "pains and penalties."
C. Bills of attainder can include any legislative act which takes away life, liberty, or property. (This concept is mostly ignored by courts and legislatures.)
D. Bills of attainder can apply to specifically named individuals or easily ascertainable groups (including the group of everyone).
