washington! maybe not as much as some of us would have wanted but certainly part of the conversation. that's certainly a good thing. i think one of the reasons it's a great topic is it's very refreshing to talk in washington these days but something bipartisan. that point was made very clear in the last panel in a lot of the material we talked about in advance of this event. you've all heard the phrase there are democratic roads. so it illustrates the point that infrastructure of all these issues that we're dealing with here in washington really has that ability to be bipartisan. in fact, it may be nonpartisan. i don't know really what those political faultlines are. like, can we have this truly be a nonpartisan issue here in federal washington these days. and speaking of nonpartisan, the next panel will be focused on the business industry perspectives on impact of the infrastructure modernization and the impact it has on their respective network. they represent a wide variety of perspectives in the infrastructure. and not political. we won't be naive to the politics today. introduced by den

commander-in-chief, george washington. so if we look at great britain, did the english crown have some emergency power to suspend habeas corpus, and the answer is no. every suspension in england or great britain came from parliament. came from parliament, not the crown. the crown never purported to suspend the act of habeas corpus. what about martial law? well, it turns out that the crown had some authority to impose military justice on members of the army, but no authority to impose military justice on civilians. and the authority to impose military justice on the army only existed in england when there was a war on english soil. that is to say without war on english soil, the english crown could not discipline soldiers for their, you know, leaving without authority or committing other military offenses. the only way that -- you know, the only way that the crown could impose articles of war on the military is if there was a war going on in england. the reason why they were able to impose articles of war in times of peace is precisely because parliament authorized them to do so. t
