progress of the penal investigation or to prevent the suspects from committing other malpractices. The legislative measures concerning the police custody evolved a lot during the last years, but the fundamental principles of the 1679 law on the habeas corpus continue to apply, in particular the right which every person has to be informed about the motives for its arrest.

It marked the worsening of the relationship between king and Parliament and led to the English Civil War in 1642. 1679: Habeas Corpus Amendment Act A law that guarantees by statute the old common law rights against arbitrary and wrongful imprisonment. In a case of wrongful imprisonment, you are now allowed to demand that the jailer produce the prisoner (habeas corpus) and justify why he is keeping him.

made up of twenty-seven amendments, including the ten first ones called the Bill of Rights, but it still remains a single, identifiable document. On the contrary, the British constitution is a group of texts for instance the Magna Carta, the Habeas Corpus, the Bill of Rights, the Act of Settlement and more recently the European communities act. Both of these constitutions are written in order to improve the human rights in their states but also to check and balance the power between the different branches

Westminster. The Acts of Parliament which are part of the constitution are above all those which determine who is entitled to vote (Reform Acts of 1832, 1867, 1884, 1918, 1928 and 1969) as well as the relations between the citizens and the state (Habeas Corpus in 1679, for example); those which define the relations between the Crown and Parliament (the 1689 Bill of Rights, for example) or between the two Houses of Parliament (the 1911 and 1949 House of Lords Acts) and the Acts of Union between the nations

correctement et qu'elle varie en fonction de rang social de l'individu, les juges corrompu vont jugé et établir votre peine non en fonction du crime mais en fonction de qui vous arrête et aussi en fonction de qui vous êtes. Ceci va a l'encontre de l habeas corpus qui promulgue que chaque Homme a la droit a un jugement équitable. En effet en y réfléchissant, nous pouvons aisément voir qu'ici la vie d'un homme a moins d'importance qu'une chienne et un cheval, par ce fait Voltaire nous montre sur un ton satirique

Habeas Corpus Defintion: L’ordonnance, bref ou mandat d’habeas corpus (en anglais writ of habeas corpus), plus exactement habeas corpus ad subjiciendum et recipiendum, énonce une liberté fondamentale, celle de ne pas être emprisonné sans jugement (contraire de l'arbitraire qui permet d'arrêter n'importe qui sans raisons valables). En vertu de ce principe, toute personne arrêtée a le droit de savoir pourquoi elle est arrêtée et de quoi elle est accusée. Ensuite, elle peut être libérée sous caution

We can take the case of the Magna Carta in 1215 which establishes the Habeas Corpus which prevents, among others, the arbitrary detention. In a second part, I think that learning Common law today in France, is interesting because of the globalization. Indeed, the compared-law is in progress. In an international world you have

composed of several legal sources : Legal rules, statutes, acts of parliament. As - Magna carta 1215 defines the right of the souverain but establishes limits namely on the tax system and the financial privilegies (plus d'impot arbitraire). - Habeas Corpus 1679 forbides arbitrary arrests and detentions and requires a prisoner be brought (etre jugé) before a judge. - Bill of Rights 1689 defines the relations between the crown (couronne) and parliament. It puts an end to the devine rights of kings.
