Final answer:

Habeas Corpus refers to the right of an accused person to be brought before a judge and informed of the charges and evidence against them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Habeas Corpus refers to a protection of liberty where the Government must inform you of the charges against you, should you find yourself jailed for a crime. It is the right of an accused person to be brought before a judge and informed of the charges and evidence against him or her. This right is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and ensures that individuals have the opportunity to challenge their imprisonment in court and seek their freedom.
