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.

How does the constitution promote the value of flexibility for the Supreme Court
Artemon [7]
