The bail system has roots that trace back to ancient civilizations, but it became more formally established in England around the late Middle Ages, particularly with the development of the English common law system in the 12th and 13th centuries. The modern bail system, as we recognize it today, began to take shape in the 19th century, particularly in the United States, with the introduction of laws aimed at ensuring that defendants could secure their release while awaiting trial. This system was designed to balance the presumption of innocence with the need to ensure that individuals would appear for their court dates.
