In The Body and the State, Cary Federman contends that habeas corpus is more than just a get-out-of-jail-free card—it gives death row inmates a constitutional means of overturning a jury's mistaken determination of guilt. Tracing the history of the writ since 1789, Federman examines its influence on federal-state relations and argues that habeas corpus petitions turn legal language upside down, threatening the states' sovereign judgment to convict and execute criminals as well as upsetting the discourse, created by the Supreme Court, that the federal-state relationship ought not be disturbed by convicted criminals making habeas corpus appeals. He pays particular attention to the changes in the discourse over federalism and capital punishment that have restricted the writ's application over time.SUNY series in American constitutionalism.Habeas corpusUnited StatesHistoryHabeas corpusUnited StatesHabeas corpusHistory.Habeas corpus345.73/056Federman Cary1963-1683617MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814922403321The body and the state4054509UNINA
