The Definition Habeas Corpus is a writ requiring a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court, especially to secure the person's release unless lawful grounds are shown for their detention. So bascially It's saying that you can not be put in jail without a reason to be. During the Civil War President Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus which caused many problems. John Merryman was a state legislator from Maryland. He was arrested for attempting to stop Union troops moving from Baltimore to Washington D.C. during the civil war. Merryman's attorney sought to turn him in and press charges. However, Lincoln had suspended Habeas Corpus so John Merryman was not put in jail.The suspension of Habeas Corpus was one of Lincoln’s most controversial decisions. Many thought that the suspension of it was a bad idea. But Lincoln thought it was necessary during the Civil War.
