Article I, Section 9, Clause 3:

No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.

This law is from supreme law of the land or federal constitution and in my opinion on of the most important laws ever passed.

History is such an important part of our lives. Our founding fathers did not just create the constitution overnight. Those men spent years studying history and the different forms of government to form the United States constitution. A law put into place to help protect the people against tyranny.

Unfortunately, ex post facto laws are passed all the time. I am sure by now you are wondering what exactly an ex post facto law is.

I chose this law because slowly we as people are losing are rights every day. There are protections for those rights. This clause is one that our founding fathers left us to protect ourselves. Ex post facto law is not meant to change the rule of evidence to make conviction easier. Nor does it allow you to be charge with crime that was committed before a law was put into place. I think it's important to remember that there are more ants than grasshoppers in this world.
