What does a writ of habeas corpus require?

A speech to be given in court
The appointment of a new judge
Authorities to bring a prisoner before the court
Immediate release of all unjustly held prisoners

The correct answer is: Authorities to bring a prisoner before the court

A writ of habeas corpus requires authorities to bring a prisoner before the court. This option is the only one that directly relates to the definition of habeas corpus, which is a legal recourse that allows individuals to challenge the legality of their detention or imprisonment. Option A is incorrect because giving a speech would not pertain to the writ of habeas corpus. Option B is incorrect because appointing a new judge does not have a direct relation to the writ of habeas corpus. Option D is incorrect because while a writ of habeas corpus can potentially result in the release of a prisoner, it does not guarantee immediate release of all unjustly held prisoners.
