Janana Khattak, "Habeas Corpus as a Means for Economic Freedom in the Progressive Era" [Research Poster]
Digital Legal Research Lab, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Undergraduate and Creative Research Experience (UCARE), 2022
Abstract
Habeas corpus protects individual freedom by allowing detained individuals proper trial. Economic liberty, or the “right to earn a living in an occupation of choice without unnecessary government interference,” is a key component of individual freedom. Following the depression of 1893, the Progressive Era ushered in a sharp increase in productivity. This was in part because of an immigration boom. While immigrants sought economic opportunities for the betterment of themselves and their families, ideologies of nativism rose.
