Answer:

A) Habeas Corpus

Explanation:

Habeas Corpus is a legal action or writ that demands that a person under arrest be brought to judgement in a court of law, to secure his release, unless there are legal reasons which justify their detention.

In many instances, the law enforcement authorities may arrest citizens and detain them for a long time without charging them. The Habeas Corpus prohibits this kind of incidence and abuse of power.

The court hears the case brought forward by the prosecution and decides whether there is a lawful basis for detaining a person. Based on the evidence the court finds, the Judge may grant the inmate release from prison or a reduction in sentence.

Why did stalin want britain and the united states to open a second front in france prior to 1944?
True [87]
Stalin wanted the US and Great Britain to open a second front in France because it would divide the German military. During the time of this statement, Germany's only real military threat came from the Soviet Union. With this in mind, Hitler had the ability to put a huge number of troops on the Soviet Union/German border.

However, if the US and Great Britain planned an invasion through France, that means Hitler would have to move hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of troops to France. France, in relation to the Soviet Union, was over 1,000 miles away.

Forcing Germany to fight this two front war would decrease their chance of success.

If a president were to declare a “ hands off” policy, what do you think he might be describing
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Hands off policy would be described as the policy that means not intervening in matters.

If a president has announced an off hands policy in some matter, that means he has declared that he will not intervene in that matter under any circumstance. He would have nothing to do with it and nobody shall try to have him indulged in that matter.

I hope the answer was helpful.
