Habeas Corpus and English Agitation Recalled in 1794
The piece reviews English political unrest and the 1794 suspension of habeas corpus, contrasting Pitt Burke and others with modern figures. It traces the fate of convention agitators like Gerrold and Hardy, and notes how Parliament justified suspension for public safety while urging vigilance against sedition. It then connects to American history and argues for careful use of executive power today.
