What civil liberty did Lincoln suspend in defiance of the Constitution?
On September 24, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus, an official court order demanding a prisoner be brought before the court in order to determine whether his (or her) incarceration is constitutionally valid. The writ of habeas corpus is considered a fundamental safeguard of liberty. Lincoln's suspension applied only to persons held as war captives or enlistment resisters during the US Civil War. The right of habeas corpus in civil court was superseded by trial before a military tribunal, similar to the treatment given Guantanamo detainees during the George W. Bush administration. Lincoln's order read (excerpt): "That the writ of habeas corpus is suspended in respect to all persons arrested, or who are now, or hereafter during the rebellion shall be, imprisoned in any fort, camp, arsenal, military prisons, or other place of confinement, by any military authority, or by the sentence of any court-martial or military commission." Historically, suspension of habeas corpus has been used in narrowly defined territories or with specific groups of people identified as threats, and has not been withheld from the population as a whole.
