Answer 1

Answer: Amnesty can be defined as the extension of pardon by the government to a class of people who commit political offenses.

Explanation:

The amnesty involves the act of availing sovereign power by the government. Such people who have committed the political offenses were subjected to trail but were not convicted. The amnesty is being exploited on terms of freedom of expression.
