An ex post facto law is a legal document that, when it is implemented, it retroactively changes the legal consequences of certain actions undertaken before the enactment of the law. For example, in criminal law, it can modify the punishment that was decided for a crime, extending the prison sentences.

Therefore<u> the prohibition of ex post facto laws forbids that newly-enacted laws can affect retroactively</u>, and bring legal consequences to situations that took place before such enactment and that, when they happened, they were perfectly legal according to legislation that was operative at the moment.

The dred scott decision
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The Dred Scott decision was the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on March 6, 1857, that having lived in a free state and territory did not entitle an slaved person, Dred Scott, to his freedom. In essence, the decision argued that, as someone's property, Scott was not a citizen and could not sue in a federal court. The majority opinion by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney also stated that Congress had no power to exclude slavery from the territories (thus invalidating the Missouri Compromise [1820]) and that African Americans could never become U.S. citizens.
