Answer: option (D). Ex post facto

Explanation: An ex facto is a law that declares someone’s action to be criminal only after it was committed, ex post facto law is considered a hallmark of tyranny because it deprives people of a sense of what behavior will or will not be punished and allows for random punishment at the whim of those in power. It is most typically used to refer to a criminal statute that punishes actions retroactively, it thereby criminalize an action conduct that was legal when it was originally performed. It is a law that criminalizes a conduct that was not criminal when performed, it is used to increase punishment for crimes already committed

The Mother's Pension Program helped pushed the welfare of mothers and also children who became orphans. The first mother's pension law happened in Illinois last 1911.  It was adopted by other States primarily to help the children who were left by their fathers and orphans, and dependent mothers.
