Answer
Rights in the Bill of Rights can be limited under specific circumstances.
A right may be limited if the limitation is:
- By a law of general application. This means the law must apply equally to everyone.
- Reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality, and freedom.
When determining if a limitation is reasonable and justifiable, factors considered include the nature of the right, the importance of the purpose of the limitation, the nature and extent of the limitation, the relationship between the limitation and its purpose, and whether there are less restrictive means to achieve that purpose.
