By Neil, Facty Staff Updated: Apr 22, 2020
3. Features of Martial Law
Military force against citizens/the army against “you” characterizes martial law.
“You” MUST do whatever an army brat/maniac tells you.
The extent of that force varies, according to the specific order declaring Martial Law.
Elected representatives are no longer in power.
All Civil liberties are stopped.
free speech is stopped, You CANNOT say anything against them, or you will be put in a Military jail.
freedom of movement is stopped. You cannot go to the store for food, unless they let you.
They can stop you on the street for no reason, OR COME INTO YOUR HOME and lock you up FOR NO REASON.
protection against unreasonable search is suspended. They can search your house.
Protection from seizure is suspended. They can take anything that they want out of your house.
There will be curfews with
Consequences/jail for those who violate them. They may also
confiscate your firearms= confiscate your guns that you need for protection from murders and thieves that are roaming your street.
confiscate your food supplies. A
military justice system could
replace the Courts and replace the Nation’s justice system, including the creation of
military tribunals to try you. Under martial law, authorities can even
detain individuals without trial or recourse.
And yes, it has been enacted before:
Martial Law and Domestic Disorder.—
President Washington himself took command of state militia called into federal service to quell the Whiskey Rebellion,
.260 Since World War II, however, the President, by virtue of his own powers and the authority vested in him by Congress,261 has used federal troops on a number of occasions;
Some of them involving resistance to desegregation decrees in the South.262 In
1957, Governor Faubus employed the Arkansas National Guard to resist court-ordered desegregation in Little Rock, and President Eisenhower dispatched federal soldiers and brought the Guard under federal authority.263 In
1962, President Kennedy dispatched federal troops to Oxford, Mississippi, when federal marshals were unable to control with rioting that broke out upon the admission of an African American student to the University of Mississippi.264 In June and September of
1964, President Johnson sent troops into Alabama to enforce court decrees opening schools to blacks.265 And, in
1965, the President used federal troops and federalized local Guardsmen to protect participants in a civil rights march. The President justified his action on the ground that there was a substantial likelihood of domestic violence because state authorities were refusing to protect the marchers.266
