Hitler threatened to declare war on Czechoslovakia because the Czech government declared martial law.
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
He has the great distinction of being the only president ever to declare Martial Law and suspend all civil rights, arresting media reporters who wrote articles which he deemed oppositional and sending them to prison.
No, President Roosevelt did not declare war on his own. The president can not declare war on his own. He did however, ask congress to declare war after the bombing at Pearl Harbor.
Citizens who refuse to obey the rules and possibly force law enforcement to shoot their own citizens. There are a lot of people out there who would take advantage of a bad situation for personal gain (such as looting after a major disaster) and there are people who act like they are the king of the hill and the rules don't apply to them. The biggest negative would be the circumstances required to declare Martial Law. Something really bad would have to happen to cause it. It is lawful if the President feels it is necessary but you will have people who will think otherwise and might riot in response.

No, this is another internet myth. The president has not declared martial law, on 19 March 2012 or on any other day. If there were martial law, you would see U.S. soldiers in the streets arresting large numbers of people and putting them in detention camps. This has not happened, nor is it likely to occur. Further, there is no evidence that Mr. Obama will declare martial law, contrary to partisan claims by some of his political opponents.

The Governor of a state or the Present of the U.S. has the power to declare martial law in case of a state emergency. Either case is debatable in the U.S. Constitution and the state's Constitution.
The Governor of a state or the President of the US. The latter is debatable as the Constitution makes no provision for martial law, only the suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus. That right is seemingly left to Congress in Article 1 Section 9 of the Constitution regarding the legislature and the limits on Congress. As for the governor of States being able to declare martial law, the right would be left to the individual state constitutions as all rights not prohibited to the States are allowed them per the Tenth Amendment. Again, it must be emphasized that the issue is debatable.
