Question

how does a writ of habeas corpus safeguard individual freedom? by preventing arrest and detention by preventing detention for a crime without evidence by providing a defense for committing a crime by providing a way to avoid sentencing at trial

Explanation:

A writ of habeas corpus allows a person to challenge their detention. It ensures that a person cannot be held in custody without proper legal justification, such as evidence of a crime. It doesn't prevent arrest/detention outright, nor is it a defense for committing a crime or a way to avoid sentencing.

Answer:

by preventing detention for a crime without evidence
