Section Qth says, The writ of habeus corpus shall not be suspended, unless in case of rebellion, or the invasion of the publick safety may require it. It has been asserted by some, that a person accused of a crime, would be obliged to ruin himself, in order to prove his innocence ; as he would be…

Cites "Section Qth" (OCR "Q" for "9") and reproduces this clause with small differences of wording.

The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus ſhall not be ſuſpended, unleſs when in caſes of rebellion or invaſion the public ſafety may require it.

The paragraph prints Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the Constitution as signed; the quoted words are the same as the clause's (apart from capitals and the long s), though the pamphlet's punctuation differs in places.

The paragraph explains the right of suspending the habeas corpus, which is the subject of Article I, Section 9, Clause 2.

The article reſpecting the habeas corpus act corroborates this doctrine.

secured ; they all stand on the same footing ; they are the common rights of Americans, and have been recognized by the state constitutions : But the convention found it necessary to recognize or re-establish the benefits of that writ, and the jury trial in criminal cases.

Says the convention recognized "the benefits of that writ," the writ of habeas corpus named earlier in the paragraph, which only this clause provides for.

It was my wish that the general government should not have the power of suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, as it appears to me altogether unnecessary, and that the power given to it may and will be used as a dangerous engine of oppression, but I could not…

The paragraph names the general government's power of "suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus" and "the power given to it", echoing the words of Article I, Section 9, Clause 2.

The reply to the question about the paragraph read in the preceding passage names the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and the cases of rebellion or invasion; no number is given.

Why is it said that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it?

The speaker asks why "the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it" and calls it "this very clause"; the wording follows the clause except that "when" is missing before "in cases".

The Constitution provides that no laws shall be suspended, except one, and that in time of rebellion or invasion, which is the writ of habeas corpus.

The speaker says "The Constitution provides that no laws shall be suspended, except one, and that in time of rebellion or invasion, which is the writ of habeas corpus."

For instance; the 2d clause of the 9th section of the 1st article provided that “the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.” And, by the last clause of the same section, “no title of nobility shall be granted by the United States.” Now, if these restrictions had not been here inserted,…

The speaker speaks of "this 9th section" and says "The first prohibition is, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended but when, in case of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it"; the words are not in quotation marks and differ slightly from the clause.

The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is only to take place in cases of rebellion or invasion.

The speaker says "the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is only to take place in cases of rebellion or invasion", wording found in Article I, Section 9, second clause.

Finally, the Constitution declares that 'the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when, in case of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it ' ; whereas this bill declares martial law (which of itself suspends this great writ) in time of peace,…
