Suspending habeas corpus can facilitate quicker action against individuals deemed a threat to public safety, allowing authorities to detain suspects without the usual legal processes. This can be viewed as a means to prevent potential unrest or violence during times of crisis, such as war or civil disturbances. By removing legal obstacles, the government may aim to maintain order and stability more effectively. However, this approach can also lead to significant civil liberties violations and undermine trust in the legal system.

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.
