Habeas corpus stems from English common law. The very first instance of its use is therefore likely lost to antiquity. Perhaps it would be better to ask when it became an important principle of law. The eminent legal scholar William Blackstone, in his "Commentaries on the Laws of England," attributed the act which secured habeas corpus for the English people to King Charles II. Charles II ruled England from 1660 to 1685, so it would be fair to say that habeas corpus became a true principle of English law during that period.

The Patriot Act itself does not explicitly suspend habeas corpus; however, it expands the government's surveillance and detention powers in the context of national security.

Upon proper application, or even on naked knowledge alone, a court is empowered, and is duty bound, to issue the Extraordinary Writ of Habeas Corpus commanding one who is restraining liberty to forthwith produce before the court the person who is in custody and to show cause why the liberty of that person is being restrained. Absent a sufficient showing for a proper restraint of liberty, the court is duty bound to order the restraint eliminated and the person discharged.

What civil liberty did Lincoln suspend in defiance of the Constitution?
On September 24, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus, an official court order demanding a prisoner be brought before the court in order to determine whether his (or her) incarceration is constitutionally valid. The writ of habeas corpus is considered a fundamental safeguard of liberty. Lincoln's suspension applied only to persons held as war captives or enlistment resisters during the US Civil War. The right of habeas corpus in civil court was superseded by trial before a military tribunal, similar to the treatment given Guantanamo detainees during the George W. Bush administration. Lincoln's order read (excerpt): "That the writ of habeas corpus is suspended in respect to all persons arrested, or who are now, or hereafter during the rebellion shall be, imprisoned in any fort, camp, arsenal, military prisons, or other place of confinement, by any military authority, or by the sentence of any court-martial or military commission." Historically, suspension of habeas corpus has been used in narrowly defined territories or with specific groups of people identified as threats, and has not been withheld from the population as a whole.
