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.

Describe how the Hundred Years’ War contributed to the end of feudalism. How did Joan of Arc impact the war?
kogti [31]

Answer:

The Hundred Years’ War contributed to the end to feudalism by introducing the concept of nationalism. When the English attacked French villages during the war, people were inspired to join together in a united effort. Instead of rallying around several lords, the people rallied around the leadership of the king, giving him complete power and authority over the people of France. Joan of Arc impacted the war because she was able to rally the French army and inspire a feeling of nationalism among her fellow peasants. She successfully united France under the king and turned the tide of the war in favor of the French.
