Can habeas corpus be suspended under the patriot act?

The Patriot Act itself does not explicitly suspend habeas corpus; however, it expands the government's surveillance and detention powers in the context of national security. The U.S. Constitution allows for the suspension of habeas corpus during times of rebellion or invasion, but such a suspension must be enacted by Congress. In practice, the use of the Patriot Act has raised concerns about the potential for indefinite detention without due process, but any formal suspension of habeas corpus would require a legal and constitutional basis beyond the provisions of the Act.

When was the habeas corpus created?

Habeas corpus stems from English common law. The very first instance of its use is therefore likely lost to antiquity. Perhaps it would be better to ask when it became an important principle of law. The eminent legal scholar William Blackstone, in his "Commentaries on the Laws of England," attributed the act which secured habeas corpus for the English people to King Charles II. Charles II ruled England from 1660 to 1685, so it would be fair to say that habeas corpus became a true principle of English law during that period.
