Habeas corpus is a legal concept that allows any person detained on a charge “without sufficient cause” to challenge their detention in court.

The judicial branch’s role in preserving a separation of powers has long contributed to the resiliency of the U.S. government. As citizens, we can recognize and respect this judicial power to check the other two branches of government and uphold our “constitutional federal republic working under principles of democracy.”

The U.S. Constitution sprang from the concept of separation of powers. The Constitution intentionally grants each branch separate and distinct powers.

We are committed to preserving the rule of law, individual rights, and a citizenship grounded in mutual responsibility and care. Our loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any party or person.

President Trump signed a sweeping executive order claiming authority over elections the Constitution clearly grants to Congress and states.

Democracy is not guaranteed. We call on Congress to honor their duty and provide a check on activity not aligned with the rule of law.

In a rule of law system, the government is responsible for upholding the law, protecting citizens' rights, and preventing abuse of power.

When we understand our government’s structure under the Constitution, we are empowered to make more informed choices.
