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

History

Paha777 [63]3 years ago
5 0
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.

How did the Qin dynasty best reflect Legalist principles?
Travka [436]

The Qin adopted the legalism in warfare (against the other states). They crushed one state after the other. This phylosophy worked for them in war so they decided to continue with its principles in peace time. The Qin Dinasty reflected Legalist principles by enacting laws. It was a way to control the population of China and there were severe penalties for breaking the laws, including fines and conscription in the army.

Churchill mentions that his “private ambitions have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams” what does he mean ?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

He meant that his accomplishment are more than he had expected to accomplish

Explanation:

When Churchill mentions that his “private ambitions have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams”.

He meant that his ambitions or desires have been accomplished more than he could ever think of or more than he had expected. This means that every position or role he has held is far more than what he expected of himself. Churchill might not have believed that his aims or ambitions in life will be achieved to that level or at that rate of progress.

For instance, Churchill held so many offices in his political career through appointment and election. He was a Member of Parliament from 1924 until 1964, home secretary, first lord of the admiralty, chancellor of the Exchequer, minister of defense, and prime minister from 1940 to 1945 and 1951 to 1955.
