What is Habeas Corpus?

  1. The right to free speech

  2. The right to bear arms

  3. The right to challenge unlawful detention by the state

  4. The right to privacy

The correct answer is: The right to challenge unlawful detention by the state

Habeas Corpus is a legal principle that protects individuals from unlawful detention by the state. Option A, the right to free speech, is protected by the First Amendment. Option B, the right to bear arms, is protected by the Second Amendment. Option D, the right to privacy, is protected by the Fourth Amendment. These rights are all separate from the concept of Habeas Corpus, which specifically pertains to the right to challenge unlawful detention.
