Federal and state authorities are much more likely to request "domestic military assistance," which is not the same as martial law. Since the United States was founded in 1776, government officials have declared martial law roughly 68 times. When martial law is in effect, military commanders, not elected officials, make laws soldiers, not local police, enforce laws and ordinary citizens accused of defying martial law might face military tribunals instead of civilian courts.Ĭivilian governments rarely invoke martial law.
The defining feature of martial law is the displacement of the civilian government by the military. Martial Law or Domestic Military Assistance? In the United States, government officials have invoked martial law during war, labor disputes, natural disasters, and in times of civil unrest. Martial law is the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian government in an emergency.
