28 Lincoln and Habeas Corpus http://www.5min.com/Video/Lincolns- Abuse-of-the-Presidential-Power- 294084084 http://www.5min.com/Video/Lincolns- Abuse-of-the-Presidential-Power- 294084084 First a definition: The Latin phrase habeas corpus means "you have the body." The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus refers to a common-law tradition that establishes a person's right to appear before a judge before being imprisoned. When a judge issues the writ, he commands a government official to bring a prisoner before the court so he can assess the legality of the prisoner's detention. When the privilege of the writ is suspended, the prisoner is denied the right to secure such a writ and therefore can be held without trial indefinitely. Habeas corpus is the only common-law tradition enshrined in the Constitution, which also explicitly defines when it can be overridden. Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution says, "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/histor…
