Habeas Corpus enhanced the civil rights of citizens. From a broad perspective, the government cannot "create rights", only the people through the elective process can identify and place into written laws, rights that citizens have. In the situation of habeas corpus, this had a significant meaning in the US and also in England. In speaking about the US, the US Constitution, a judge must issue a writ requiring an imprisoned person to be brought to a stated place at a certain time in a court to determine if a person is rightly imprisoned and should be tried in a court of the persons peers. Normally anyone arrested, must be brought before a judge within 48 hours to determine if the arrest was legitimate. This ensures that persons are not held in prison indefinitely and without being charged with a crime. At times of national crisis, this writ of habeas corpus may be suspended.
