## Definition

A pardon is an official act by a government authority, typically the executive branch, that absolves an individual of any legal consequences for a crime they have been convicted of. It effectively erases the conviction from the individual's criminal record, signifying forgiveness and allowing the individual to regain rights lost due to the conviction.
