The term "habeas corpus" originates from Latin, meaning "you shall have the body." It refers to a legal principle that protects individuals from unlawful detention by allowing them to seek relief from a court. The concept dates back to English common law and was formalized in the 1215 Magna Carta, which asserted the right to due process. The U.S. adopted this principle, enshrining it in Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution, ensuring individuals the right to challenge their imprisonment.
