CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS.

Sanguinary laws ought to be avoided, as far as is consistent with the

safety of the state ; and no law to inflict cruel and unusual pains

and penalties ought to be made, in any case, or at any time here-

after — Decl. of Rights, art. 14.

Retrospective laws, punishing facts committed before the existence of

such laws, and by them only declared criminal, are oppressive,

unjust, and incompatible with liberty ; wherefore no ex post facto

law ought to be made — Decl. of Rights, art. 15.

No law to attaint particular persons of treason or felony, ought to be

made in any case, or at any time hereafter — Decl. of Rights, art. 16.
