-Title: Illegalization of Ex Post Facto
-Type: Creation
-Reasoning: With new laws being put into place and the legal system being inevitably changed through time, conflicts through changed laws are bound to occur. Ex post facto refers to "after the fact" meaning that someone cannot be punished for an action that was made illegal after the act was committed. This is to ensure that the rights of citizens are protected and that the justice system or any authority cannot infringe on those rights.
-Bill: Nobody can be punished ex post facto. A law cannot be made solely for the intent of punishing someone for an act they have already committed and the person who committed an act cannot be punished for it if that action is to be made illegal or against the rules after the act was already done.
