What is the purpose of Habeas corpus?

The right to challenge unlawful detention by the state
The process of electing a Prime Minister
A law for environmental protection
A diplomatic protocol

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

Habeas corpus is a legal principle that ensures a person's right to challenge the legality of their detention by the state. Option B is incorrect because electing a Prime Minister is not related to this legal principle. Option C is also incorrect because habeas corpus is not a law for environmental protection. Option D is incorrect because it is not related to the legal system, whereas habeas corpus is a fundamental principle in the legal field.
