The clause is really a state's rights clause. A state may not pass a law that makes something illegal that was legal before the law was passed. In other words if a state suddenly passed a law that said it is no longer legal to park your car in front of any government building, but it was legal to do so yesterday, the police cannot come to your door and issue a ticket for parking in front of a government building because you did it yesterday. 

The constitution actually uses the phrase ex post facto law in Article 1 Section 10 Clause 1.

Going east to west, France's Louisiana Territory extended from A. the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. B. the Mississip
Romashka [77]

The right answer is A. the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains.

The Louisiana territory, initially populated by Indians, then settled by the French, had been ceded to Spain in 1763. Since that time the dream of retaking Louisiana had stirred the French, and the audacious general Napoléon Bonaparte had retrieved it for France from his Spanish allies in 1800. Napoléon was willing to sell the Louisiana Territory because his French army in Saint-Domingue (Haiti) had been decimated not only by a massive slave revolt but also by yellow fever. Concerned about financing another round of warfare in Europe, Napoléon decided to cut French losses in the Americas by selling the entire Louisiana Territory and thereby gaining cash for his ongoing war with Great Britain. Great Britain. By the Treaty of Cession, dated April 30, 1803, the United States obtained the Louisiana Territory for about $15 million.
