State of Exception

The "State of Exception" refers to a situation where a government temporarily surpasses normal laws and rights, often to address emergencies like war, natural disasters, or threats to national security. During this time, authorities may exercise special powers, such as increased surveillance or restricted freedoms, to manage the crisis effectively. While intended to protect public safety, it can also lead to concerns about potential abuse of power and erosion of democratic rights if maintained too long or used improperly.
