The correct answer is alternative C.

The United States Constitution expressly forbids the government to pass <em>ex post facto</em> laws, which are laws that can change the legal consequences of actions in the past. In some countries <em>ex post facto</em> laws are acceptable in some situations, but in the U.S. this is such an unacceptable thing that it seemed obvious and unnecessary to include in the Constitution.
