What laws,
acts, or legislation give the Government the authority to require citizens to
quarantine or wear face masks? This paper will analyze where the Government
derived these authorities and what changes have been made to those laws, acts, or
legislation since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, what legal
precedence exists for public health to supersede individual rights?
