What did the europena contact with the americas impact the indigenous populations
butalik [34]

The European contact impacted the indigenous populations of the Americas in terms of control and domination. Once the Europeans arrived to the American continent they discovered that the local populations made usage of different kind of valuable resources for them like gold, silver, coil, wood, precious gemstones among others. So in this way Europeans decided to take control over these valuable resources and the land by the colonization of the continent. A violent process in which they used military technology such as gunpowder weapons, cannons and galleons to subjugate the local populations and empires. The Europeans also impose the system of beliefs from the Christianity to the indigenous populations in order to replace their religion and idols and indoctrinate them to exercise control trough religious customs and traditions. Another unbelievable impact was given by the fact that there was a microbiotic exchange between the Europeans and the population of the Americas, some viruses like smallpox and tuberculosis were not present in the native population of the Americas; actually some historians attribute the success of the conquistadors to these viruses. That was the case of Cortez in Mexico and Pizarro in Peru where they conquered vast empires with a small group of armed men but favored by the epidemic action. Another impact was the asimilation of local indigenous populations to the emerging culture imposed by the colonizers, they forgot their culture and native language moving to the aura of the spanish and other languages imposed by the colonial powers in the Americas.

Wyzanski argues the principle against ex post facto laws is essential for Rule Of Law (otherwise, it merely becomes Rule of Man)
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The United States Constitution prohibits legislative bills of attainder. Which is indicated in federal law under Article I, Section 9, and in state law under Article I, Section 10.  Being banned under state law reflects the significance that the framers are connected to this issue.

The clauses that are prohibiting attainder laws serve two purposes within the U.S. Constitution. They strengthened the separation of powers by means of prohibiting the legislature to execute judicial or executive functions, because  the result of any such acts of legislature would take the form of a bill of attainder. Additionally, they incorporate the conceptualization of due process, that was relatively reinforced by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. The text of the Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 states that "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed". Moreover, the constitution of every state clearly progibits bills of attainder as well. For instance, the Wisconsin's constitution under Article I, Section 12 states that, “No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, nor any law impairing the obligation of contracts, shall ever be passed, and no conviction shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture of estate.” On the contrary, the Texas version under Article 1 (Titled Bill of Rights) Section 16, entitled Bills of Attainder; Ex Post Facto or Retroactive Laws, Impairing Obligation of Contracts states that, "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, retroactive law, or any law impairing the obligation of contracts, shall be made".  It is not clear though whether a contract that calls for heirs to be denied of their estate is permitted under this law.
