How does the Constitution's Article I ban on ex post facto laws protect people? pls help

History

Paha777 [63]3 years ago

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.

What was the Soviet Union’s primary purpose in building the Berlin Wall?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The Soviet Union's primary purpose was to prevent East Germans from escaping to West Germany.

Explanation:

The Berlin Wall was built to divide communist East Germany from democratic West Germany and to keep East Germans from escaping to West Germany. After World War II, defeated Germany was divided into four zones, each occupied by Allied forces: the United States, France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. Tension between the communist territory and the democratic territories mounted, and the Berlin Wall was built to separate them.  I hope I helped, please corrected if I'm wrong!
