      I looked it up again. It started a bit before the Magna Carta, the concepts were established a butt better in the Magna Carta, but the Writ of Habeas Corpus, is from an actual in 1679.

      There’s a ton more in the main Habeas Corpus wiki entry, but I’m at my limit of reading legal stuff for the day!

      Tldr, any time we’ve suspended it has not been a good time for anyone! 😒
