Ex Post Facto Laws. laws that are created after the fact and then enforced..... it be like if back in 1997 i stole some shoes, but in 1997 the law said stealing shoes was ok. then in 1999 they change the law to stealing anything is illegal and then try to prosecute me for the theft in 97 even though it was legal during that year.. The United states constitution does not permit Ex Post Facto Laws to be passed.

What is the role of England's monarch today?

I believe the role is the same as it has been for many years. The current ruler decides when to participate and/or go to war. They also act similar to the President of the United States in relation to passing laws. They come up with laws (not many new are needed today) and they get the laws passed and enforced. I do not know whether or not the English throne is a successive throne or not. I know it was, but today the people might elect the monarchs themselves.


Can a citizen disobey the low of the country?

One has the 'rights' to do almost anything. Breaking the law (knowingly) is a little different than breaking a law someone might not know. For example, it is illegal for someone to 'knowingly' park a car and block a cop. But, maybe you didn't see the car... Many laws are challenged everyday.There's a reason we have trials and a judicial system. Most of the time, laws are enforced, but there are certain cases of laws overturned, laws being amended, etc.
