what does \ex post facto law\ mean?
The Elastic Clause, also known as the Necessary and Proper Clause, in the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the enumerated powers and other powers vested by the Constitution in the government of the United States. It is a key provision that allows Congress to adapt to changing circumstances while exercising its powers. An ex - post - facto law is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law. In the U.S., such laws are generally prohibited as they are considered unfair and a violation of due - process principles.
