Martial Law
It is known a Martial Law.
Martial law is law enforcement by the military on a civilian population at times of emergency. Military law is a special kind of law code which military personnel become subject to when they enlist in the military. It would normally be enforced by the military police and courts Marshal. Military law does not normally apply to non enlisted personnel.
During martial law, the military basically assumes the role of the police. When you do something illegal, the military can do whatever they see fit to you. It may be more or less harsh than what the police might do.For example, under regular law, if the police caught you, say, fighting with someone in the street, chances are they'd take you to jail, if only for a few hours.Under martial law, IF the military thought it was justified, they could start shooting at you. (That's just an example, chances are they wouldn't do something that extreme.)
It is written in Art II Sec 3 that Civilian authority is at all times supreme over the military. Martial law also aims in protecting the people, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are supreme over the civilians during this time.
