Habeas corpus is a legal principle that protects individuals from unlawful imprisonment. It requires that a person under arrest be brought before a court or judge, ensuring the government must justify the detention. Originating in English common law, it became a key part of democratic legal systems, safeguarding personal liberty by preventing authorities from holding someone without valid legal reason or trial.
