Use the terms "pardon," "reprieve," and "amnesty" in a paragraph.

A pardon is a governmental decision to forgive a person for a crime, erasing their criminal record and freeing them from the consequences of their actions. A reprieve, on the other hand, temporarily delays the punishment of an individual, providing them with additional time before their sentence is carried out. Amnesty is a broader measure, typically offered to a group of individuals, absolving them of legal consequences for specific offenses, often for political or humanitarian reasons.

Answer :

Pardon is the action taken by a
government official (especially from the executive level) which dismisses the
punishment for a crime. Reprieve, on the other hand, is the act of suspending a
death penalty for a certain span of time. Amnesty is a governmental act in
which all people of a particular group who did criminal acts (usually political
offenses) are granted the immunity for prosecution.
