Explore a foundational debate about civil liberties and executive power in the United States. This volume analyzes how the Constitution frames the president’s authority to arrest and detain in times of rebellion or internal war, and what separates executive action from legislative power.
The argument presented centers on the language and spirit of the Habeas Corpus clause. It contrasts a purely legal view with a constitutional and natural approach, arguing that suspension of the writ is an executive, not legislative, act. The author examines English and American constitutional ideas, offering a clear position on which branch should decide when public safety requires detainment.
