Some disadvantages of martial law are:

  • death of democracy --- the declaration had made people be mute for a moment.. there's no freedom of the press
  • the rights of the people to speak and share their opinion in that current situation was totally denied and deprived
  • controlling the people around them
  • stronger military power.. which cause harm to the civilians ... some military took the advantage while they were close and the pres. needed them

There really are no benefits to military rule. While there might be a temporary stability in a country, this is often shattered as the new dictator launches extermination campaigns against their real or supposed opponents (Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Samuel K. Doe, for example). Civil liberties are often suspended, and foreign investment suffers as rule of law is no longer in effect and investment-trade laws become negotiable.

The advantage of martial law is that it grants extraordinary power to some executive (whether the President, general, or whomever is in charge) which enables him to do whatever is necessary to deal with some terrible emergency, without any hindrance from a legal system, a legislature or judiciary. Of course, we have legal systems in place to protect us from abuse by dictatorial or arbitrary rulers, so when martial law is declared, all kinds of abuse may (and often does) result. Martial law does make it easier to deal with an emergency (particularly if it is a really desperate emergency which threatens the survival of the nation in question) but it also comes at a very high cost, and it is often invoked for the wrong reasons.

thanks alot

An advantage to marital law is that law enforcement is nearby in case you have any type of emergency. It may also make some areas safer than they would normally be.
