This would be an example of <span>an ex post facto law.

An ex post facto law retroactively  changes the consequences of a committed act and the act itself has been committed before the law passed and went into effect.  In the United States the ex post facto laws are forbidden by the Constitution of the United States, by the Article I.

<span>In 1763, the French and Indian War ended in favor of the British, bringing about a change in the political, economic, and ideological relationship between Britain and the US colonies. When the French and Indian War ended, the countries that owned land in North America changed, and it led to Britain becoming one of the most powerful country. During this time, the relationship between American colonists and their British government was wary, and eventually led to the Proclamation of 1763. The Proclamation was Britain wanting to keep conflict from happening, however, it had the opposite effect on their colonists, as they felt that Britain abandoned their rights while imposing unnecessary rules onto them. On top of that, Britain increased the taxes and laws for their American colonists that strictly regulated trade, imposed taxes on commonly used items, and made sure that the Americans did not have relationships with any other European countries. This led to the Americans becoming infuriated because of these unjust taxations.
This sudden change in the amount of laws and taxes placed on the colonists strained the economic relationship the colonists had with their country. For example, the Wool, Hat, and Iron Acts forced Americans to ship their raw material to Britain, and to buy only finished products from them. On top of this, the Stamp Act enraged many of the colonists, and, as Benjamin Franklin stated, wanted the Act(s) to be repealed as quickly as possible. They practiced smuggling and non-importation/consumption of British goods, which strained their relationships even more.
Even though the colonial ideological values towards Britain began to change during the war, the colonists ability to fight back using boycotts proved that when they united together, they can change circumstances.  Also, during and after the French and Indian War, the Americans soldiers felt that they had less liberty than the Englishmen. As stated by a Massachusetts soldier when he wrote that “we are debarred Englishmen’s liberty.” Their resentment continued to grow, until it became unbearable and it triggered the Revolutionary War. The French and Indian War was the trigger to the start of the American Revolution, as it changed the political, economic, and social status between England and her colonists, because the English imposed unfair taxes to help pay for their own economic struggles. The colonists, to fight back, boycotted, smuggled, and protested, further damaging their relationships with Britain.  Finally, the last straw was when British troops shot into American crowds during the Boston massacre. From that point of history on, all status of countries had changed.<span>(note:horrible ending.. might want to change it)

What major factors play a role in global warming?( IM ON ADS SO PLS HELP MEH)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Natural factors and human activity

Explanation:

As humans, we are the number one source of global warming and climate change. Human activity has fueled this change since the 1800s when humans burned fossil fuels, which released heat-trapping gases into the blanket of the earth that trapped the sun's heat. Other modern-day causes like generating power, manufacturing goods, cutting down forests, using transportation, producing food, and using too much energy, etc., lead to global warming and climate change following that.
