Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Habeas corpus is a form that allows someone to challenge the constitutionality of his/her confinement.

The accused petitions the federal district court, and if the writ is issued then the petitioner is brought before the court and their confinement is reviewed.

It is limited in the sense that it may or may not be accepted, it has time restraints, it is a last resort, and there is a limit on how may habeas petitions can be filed.
