Limits on Congress
pass ex post facto laws, which outlaw acts after they have already been committed. pass bills of attainder, which punish individuals outside of the court system. suspend the writ of habeas corpus, a court order requiring the federal government to charge individuals arrested for crimes.
Why did the founders of the nation want to limit the powers of Congress? ... Congress had to be strng and powerful to avoid the failure of the Articles of Confederation, but it also had to have clear limits so citizens would be protected from authoritarian action by Congress.

You had three estates
1.Nobility
2. Clergy (Catholic Church)
3. everyone else
The clergy and nobility didn't have to pay taxes because they had the backing of the church. In theory all estates had the same job, but it was most always the clergy and nobility teaming up.
