“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”
In plain EnglishThe Constitution says: Congress can’t write a law that points at one specific person or group and punishes them (bill of attainder), and can’t punish you today for something that was perfectly legal yesterday (ex post facto). Laws have to apply to everyone the same way.

Federalist 51 · Madison (1788)
“Ambition must be made to counteract ambition… the interior structure of the government… its several constituent parts may, by their mutual relations, be the means of keeping each other in their proper places.”
In plain EnglishMadison is saying: don’t trust the people in power to behave on their own. Set up the government so that different parts of it have to watch each other. When each branch is trying to protect its own turf, they keep each other honest — and nobody grabs too much power.
