No- certainly not. Martial law is rare in the US and is used only in small areas that have been hit by a natural dishaster such as a hurricane or tornado and looting is feared or even more rarely in case of a civil disturbance or riot.

What are the types of martial law?

1. Full Martial Law is characterized by the presence of full combat ready troops in the streets of our city and towns. 2. Martial Law Jurisdiction. This form of Martial Law is what governs our service personnel. They are under the jurisdiction of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Under the UCMJ your rights are a privilege granted by the UCMJ and not protected by an appeal to the provisions of the Constitution for the united States. 3. Martial Law Rule. This aspect of Martial Law puts the civilian population under the exclusive direction of the Congress. Does anyone question the reason Congress uses the word "war" when singling out a perceived social ill. There are so many other adjectives that can be used why use the word war. Does not a declared war place the population under Martial Law? Does the declaration of war not put the entire country in a combat zone? Think about it.
