What type of imprisonment has been illegal since Magna Carta?
Imprisonment without right of habeas corpus. If you don't know what that means, do an online search, and do some of your homework yourself.
@Setanta,
sorry, too many letters. I've tried doing the homework myself and cannot find the word to fit the above clue. ??on????
OK . . . it sounded like a homework question to me . . . let me think about this.
The only part of Magna Carta still in force which deals with imprisonment is the right of due process. Almost all of the provisions of Magna Carta have been repealed. You need to think of a word which is a synonym of arbitrary.
@Francis,
Sounds good. They wouldn't have objected to rightful imprisonment unless they were talking about themselves.
@Francis,
Wrongful might fill the needs for a crossword, but it really needs a word meaning "without trial you are free" .

For as much information as we have, that certainly fills the bill, Mon Vieux . . .
