Habeas Corpus is one of those arty farty ideas used by Ang Mohs to limit the powers of barbarious sovereigns who have a tendency to imprison troublesome dissenters for fun. The idea is to force a cunning Prince and his lackeys to submit evidence so that idealistic fools will not be imprisoned illegally. History buffs will know it was formally written into England laws around 1679 and note that during this time, the Manchus were still culling rebellious Ming loyalists in Southern China (with assistance from former Ming loyalists).

Asiatic cultures has little time to entertain such arty farty ideas because Chink emperors claimed their words are the laws and any baboon who disagreed are promptly executed, at least that has been the precedence for 5000 years.

There are two ways to get around this as demostrated by the astute Ang Mohs. The dumber tinpots will circumvent Habeas Corpus using vile Legalist tactics of crafting laws e.g. Internal Security Act to provide legal basis for arbitrary and indefinite imprisonment. Repealing Habeas Corpus will earn you a mention in history book as an aspiring despot.

In addition, drunkard Russian Tsars neatly solved this problem by proclaiming his subjects as serfs. Serfs are 'exempted' from Habeas Corpus, an improvement over using silly legalist tricks. The Tsars are not idiots as demonised by the Soviet swines. What about the Nihons? No worries as the Meiji reformers will tell you over a cup of Jap tea, 'we simply send assassins and ninjas to deal the trouble makers, therefore no need for what you say, 'Habeas Cotius'!

The Yanks always preach on a pedestal, citing the Brits as lazy imperialists who resisted repealing Habeas Corpus despite murderous Irish IRA dissenters or rebellious Scots yet it was a no brainer when the Straits Settlement Colonial regime imposed ISA to deal with trouble Malayan Commies. Same logic when the Yanks decided to test the nuclear bombs on rabid Nihons instead of the Nazi Aryans.

To Asiatic despots Malayan Prime Minion Tunku AB and rival Old Autocrat, ISA is a gift from their Brit Overlords. By using inheritance disguised as legal precedence , both despots adore ISA despite their mutal hatred for each another. Both despots understood if the Brits quit Malaya after giving the amateurish Malayan Commies a good beating, ISA can be used to subvert Habeas Corpus. This allows both despots to act like a typical Sultan or Rajah of yore, imprisoning troublemakers or political dissenters disguised as 'Commie agitators' using an British legal innovation.

Yanks have consistently walk the easy way out to suppress Habeas Corpus with at least three embarassing famous examples to show for it.
1. Uncle Civil War where President Lincoln is promoted to Emperor Lincoln and kaputs many of his foes.
2. WWII where Uncle Sam lackeys interned numerous Nihons citing National Security but strangely many Nihons fought for the Ang Mohs in Europe.
3. Dealing with Al Qaeda jihadists using sleight of hand 'Military Combatants' gimmick to water down Habeas Corpus. Well Red Indians who resisted the Brits and Yanks are excluded as many legal protection and rights applied to White Ang Mohs only.
