Habeus Corpus, in a very brief nutshell, is the right to have a reason to be arrested and a set amount of time for charges and such which ties into the right to a timely trial. It was a fundamental principle to the founding fathers.

It was set into place beause of the then-recent memory of people being arrested in the middle of the night without a word said and never being seen/heard from again.

I could and probably should go into more detail but hopefully that will suffice, for now at least, or someone else can chime in.
