Martial Law: Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

Martial law means that the authority of civilian law and government has been suspended or severely limited and the military has assumed control. Under martial law, the military issues and enforces orders that define what civilians may do and when they may do it. Curfews and other restrictions on movement and assembly are common features of martial law, as are indefinite detentions, limits on speech and assembly, and military control of roads and other infrastructure, communications, food, and other essential supplies and services.
