The Suspending Power And The Writ Of Habeas Corpus is a book written by James F. Johnston in 1862. The book explores the concept of the Suspending Power, which refers to the ability of the government to suspend the writ of habeas corpus during times of war or rebellion. Habeas corpus is a legal principle that protects individuals from unlawful detention or imprisonment, and the suspension of this writ is a controversial issue that has been debated throughout history. Johnston's book provides a thorough analysis of the Suspending Power and its implications for civil liberties and constitutional law. He examines the historical context of the writ of habeas corpus and its role in protecting individual rights, as well as the legal and political debates surrounding its suspension during times of crisis. The book also includes a detailed discussion of the constitutional and statutory provisions governing the Suspending Power, as well as the various court cases and legal opinions that have shaped its interpretation over time. Johnston argues that the Suspending Power is a necessary tool for the government to maintain order and protect national security, but that its use must be carefully balanced against the rights of individuals and the principles of due process and the rule of law. Overall, The Suspending Power And The Writ Of Habeas Corpus is a comprehensive and insightful examination of a complex legal and political issue that continues to be relevant today. It is a valuable resource for scholars, lawyers, and anyone interested in the history and theory of civil liberties and constitutional law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
