Dubious claim - United States
The claim made in the United States section (shown below) makes claims I cannot verify and in modern times appears to be unrealistic.
When the original thirteen American colonies declared independence, and became a republic based on popular sovereignty, any person, in the name of the people, acquired authority to initiate such writs.
The main article points out, at length, the difference between the implementations of writs in the US and England. Such differences however only allow for a person to petition a court for a writ of habeas corpus if they are a federal prisoner and meet the criteria set out here. It would seem more appropriate the text reflect the realities presented in the main article which provides a much stricter definition for who may petition for a writ.
