Solution

Question 1: If a crime is committed before the law allowing the death penalty is passed, can that person be executed?

This principle prevents people from being punished for something that wasn't a crime when they did it. If a crime was committed before the law allowing the death penalty was passed, the person cannot be executed because at the time of the crime, the death penalty was not a legal punishment.
