Suspended habeaus corpus

Habeaus corpus is the right protecting citizens from being arrested without reason or being held for unlimited amount of time.

Lincoln suspended habeaus corpus as a war measure. Lincoln felt he needed the right to arrest people who did not allow Union troops to do their job. This move by Lincoln is argued to be unconstitutional but exists in a long line of moves by a president as a wartime power to reduce the rights of citizens.

what is the most important reason for the end of the (western) roman empire? and what is the least important reason for the end
dsp73
The most important reason for the collapse of Rome was the failure to actually integrate what they conquered. When Roman soldiers conquered new lands, it was rare that they ever attempted to force their culture, ideals, or laws upon the natives and barbarians. Thus, when the Empire began suffering internal struggles, the natives they had conquered decided to take action, which lead to the swift collapse by barbarian invasion from all sides. It's hard to pick a LEAST important reason, seeing that there were many of them, but I suppose a contender would most likely be the common refusal of the Empire to even acknowledge that barbarians were rising. On the outer edges of their territory, in places like Gaul and Morocco, the Roman government was reluctant to even recognize the threat of the barbarians, thinking that even accepting that these barbarians were causing trouble would weaken their prestige in the public eye.
