Answer:

<em>An ex post facto law.</em>

Explanation:

An ex post facto law comes from the Latin and means "from after the action" or "after the facts", in this case the law can retrospectively allow the punishing of acts that were done in past which were not a crime at the time.

While the habeas corpus is used to prevent incorrect or illegal imprisonment and can be applied against violations of personal liberty.

A “necessary and proper” law grants the power to Congress make any Laws needed for the Execution of the foregoing Powers and Departments.

A bill of attainder is the punishing of someone without the right to a trial, it is prohibited in the U.S. Constitution.

5. Evaluate How did nativism influence the law?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Nativism is the political policy of promoting the interests of native inhabitants against those of immigrants,[1] including the support of immigration-restriction measures.[2]

In scholarly studies, nativism is a standard technical term, although those who hold this political view do not typically accept the label. Oezguer Dindar wrote, "[N]ativists [...] do not consider themselves [to be] nativists. For them it is a negative term and they rather consider themselves as 'Patriots'.[3]
