Proportionality problem 1
Principle: A public restriction is valid only when it serves a legitimate purpose and is no broader than reasonably necessary. Facts: a town bans all public meetings for six months after one noisy gathering. The decision-maker must apply only the stated principle. General moral approval or disapproval is irrelevant unless it connects to an element of the rule. A strong legal analysis identifies the purpose protected by the principle, tests every required condition against the facts, and explains which additional fact would alter the conclusion.
