Its not something that's "used". It just happens. When there's chaos or the government falls apart. During Hurricane Katrina there was a state of martial law.Added: The above statement is only partly true, It does not "just happen." The Governor of a state or the President of the US can declare Martial Law.Added:Martial law was never declared during or after Katrina and the term does not exist under Louisiana state law. Furthermore martial law, or the suspension of habeas corpus, cannot be declared federally without the approval of congress and even then only in cases of rebellion or invasion. Individual states and the federal government can declare a state of emergency which is similar, but does not throw the Constitution out of the window.The last time the federal government applied martial law was in Hawaii during WW2 after the Pearl Harbor attack.Habeas Corpus, is "to see the body" it is a legal term meaning the judge wants the person before him, and martial law was declared in Katrina it does not take congress, that's the suspension of posse comitatus, the state governor can declare martial law and he did, in Katrina
What are Martial law rules and regulations?
Martial law is a system of absolute miltary control over all military and civilian activities of a country. Martial law seeks to maintain public order in times of a crisis, when the normal civil institutions of justice either cannot function or could be deemed too slow or ill-equipped for the situation. Usually martial law curtails some of the personal rights ordinarily granted to the citizen, limits the length of the trial processes, and can prescribe more severe penalties than ordinary civil law. The only nationwide use if martial law in the US was a limited period during the US Civil War when martial law was declared, and the right to Habeus Corpus was suspended in the Union (northern) States, by order of President Abraham Lincoln.
