This is one thing we do.
It's martial law. Not marshall.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law
Martial law is the imposition of the highest-ranking military officer as the military governor or as the head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. It is usually imposed temporarily when the government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, or provide essential services).
Whether or not capitalize "martial" is another story.
English is a confusing language.
