The purpose of including the habeas corpus clause, prohibition of bills of attainder, and prohibition of ex post facto laws in the U.S. Constitution is to protect individual liberties and limit the power of the federal government. These clauses ensure that individuals have the right to challenge their detention or imprisonment (habeas corpus), prevent the government from passing laws that directly target and punish specific individuals (bills of attainder), and prohibit the government from passing retroactive laws that make certain actions illegal after they have been committed (ex post facto laws). These clauses are intended to uphold the principles of due process, fairness, and the protection of individual rights within the legal system.
