Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "They could be held in jail without being charged with a crime".

Explanation:

Habeas corpus is a recourse in law that allows that a person could report an unlawful detention or imprisonment, forcing that the custodian bring the prisoner into court to determine if the imprisonment was lawful. When president Abraham Lincoln suspended the constitutional right of habeas corpus in Maryland, people could be held in jail without being charged with a crime. One of the victims that were unlawfully arrested was militia captain John Merryman, one of the most infamous cases of not using habeas corpus during the American Civil War.
