Ironic, since the writ of Habeas corpus predates even the Magna Carta.

Habeas corpus goes back to around 1166, which for those keeping track, is only around 600 years before the founding of the USA…

I find it so strange how proud Americans are of their constitution, which was copied largely from British laws; who kinda shat on this part of their history…

The idea of habeas corpus was around long before 1166. We know other much older civilizations had courts and the right to a confront ones accusers.
