History
The concept of bail evolved to protect citizens from oppressive government. It can traced back to 399 BC, when Plato tried to create a bond for the release of Socrates. Today's bail system evolved from a series of laws started in England's middle ages. Those ideas and laws are deeply rooted in our Constitution.
THE MAGNA CARTA was the first step in granting rights to citizens. It is said no man could be taken or imprisoned without being judged by his peers or the law of the land.
THE STATUTE OF WESTMINSTER stated which crimes were bailable and which were not. It also determined which judges and officials could make decisions on bail.
THE PETITION OF RIGHT gave defendants the right to be told of the charges against them.
THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT added to the Right of Petition saying that nobody could be imprisoned without specific charges and and the person had the right to know if the charged against him were bailable or not.
THE ENGLISH BILL OF RIGHTS safe-guarded against judges setting bail to high.
THE BILL OF RIGHTS OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, through the 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments, guarantees citizens the right to due process of law, a fair and speedy trial and protection against execessive bail.
