Discuss the term, Habeas Corpus.

  1. A general pardon for offenses against a government

  2. A legal principle that nobody can be punished without a trial

  3. A written order commanding the bringing of the body, of a certain person, before a certain court

  4. An agreement in a civil lawsuit before the trial

The correct answer is: A written order commanding the bringing of the body, of a certain person, before a certain court

Habeas Corpus is not A because a general pardon is different from being brought before a court. Habeas Corpus is not D because it does not refer to an agreement in a civil lawsuit. Habeas Corpus is not B because it is specifically related to being brought before a court, not just any punishment without a trial.
