Practically speaking, how was martial law actually carried out on the ground in the 1600s or 1700s, and what language did authorities use to justify such extreme powers?
For a chapter on administrative control, I need concrete details. When a ruler declared martial law, who enforced it? What procedures (if any) were followed? More importantly, what were the standard justifications—divine right, necessity (salus populi), or Roman precedent—invoked in proclamations to make this suspension of ordinary law palatable to contemporaries?
