Ever heard of 'Habeas Corpus' but not sure what it truly means? It's a fundamental legal principle with roots dating back to the Magna Carta in 1215, designed to prevent unlawful detention. This principle was solidified when King Charles II enacted the Habeas Corpus Act in 1679, further embedding it into the legal framework. This principle was so crucial that it was woven into the fabric of U.S. law from the very beginning, advocated by figures like James Madison.
