Amnesty and pardon ,
are very different .
The former is an act of the sovereign power ,
the object of which is to efface and to cause to be forgotten ,
a crime or misdemeanor ;
the latter ,
is an act of the same authority ,
which exempts the individual on whom it is bestowed from the punishment the law inflicts for the crime he has committed .
7 Pet .
160 .
Amnesty is the abolition and forgetfulness of the offence ;
pardon is forgiveness .
A pardon is given to one who is certainly guilty ,
or has been convicted ;
amnesty ,
to those who may have been so .
4 .
Their effects are also different .
That of pardon ,
is the remission of the whole or a part of the punishment awarded by the law ;
the conviction remaining unaffected when only a partial pardon is granted :
an amnesty on the contrary ,
has the effect of destroying the criminal act ,
so that it is as if it had not been committed ,
as far as the public interests are concerned .
5 .
Their application also differs .
Pardon is always given to individuals ,
and properly only after judgment or conviction :
amnesty may be granted either before judgment or afterwards ,
and it is in general given to whole classes of criminals or supposed criminals ,
for the purpose of restoring tranquillity in the state .
But sometimes amnesties are limited ,
and certain classes are excluded from their operation .
