Martial law is the declaration of a curfew in any given area. The military take to the streets and have orders to shoot anyone that is breaking the curfew.
Martial Law is a system of rules that enables the Military to take over the normal adminstration of justice. Martial Law can only be declared by the President of the United States. Martial Law is declared in states of emergency, or at any time that events could lead to civil unrest within the population. Curfews are often put into effect during states of Martial Law.
