Imagine a natural disaster strikes your area and power will be out for weeks. describe two limitations to individual rights that you would support in this situation and why. include an explanation of how the limits relate to at least one amendment in the bill of rights.

It all depends on the type of natural disaster, and the time of the year it occurs. A flood is deadlier during wintertime than during springtime. One of the first limitations to rights might reasonably be the right of a person to leave his/her home and circulate. During a flood it is safer to remain at home and call for rescue than to expose oneself to strong currents with the caveat that the home is located in an elevated area or that it has a second story where people can wait for rescue to arrive. Another limitation would be the right to a trial as heavily inundated areas might be deprived of a functional court system and looters or criminals might have to be incarcerated without a trial while the system returns to normal functionality. Judges might be dead or missing and potential jurors might not be psychologically fit for such role due to extreme hardship. A criminal caught red-handed during an offense might be incarcerated or even executed if the offense is a capital one (murder with extreme prejudice).

This later limitation of rights is related to the  Sixth Amendment: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.”

the section of the chart that represents a point at which a bill needs approval from a majority of people in both chambers to advance is j, as this is the only section before the bill becomes law which has both rows (symbolizing the chambers) converging into one, meaning that the two parts of the congress have to approve of it before it can march on with the process.
