Alright kiddo, imagine you're playing a game with your friends and you all agree on some rules to follow. But then, something unexpected happens, like a storm suddenly hits your playground and makes it unsafe to play. So, you and your friends need to break some of the rules to stay safe.
This is kind of like what happens in the real world when there's a state of exception. A state of exception means that the government has to temporarily change or break some of the normal laws and rules because there's an emergency or crisis happening. For example, if there's a war, the government might need to restrict people's rights and freedoms more than usual in order to protect the country.
Now, this might sound scary or unfair, but usually there are laws and procedures in place to make sure the government doesn't abuse their power during a state of exception. It's kind of like how your parents might give you more strict rules during a crisis, but they still want to make sure you're safe and treated fairly.
But it's important to remember that a state of exception is a big deal and shouldn't be taken lightly. It's only supposed to be used in really extreme situations where the normal rules just won't work anymore. And when the crisis is over, things should go back to normal as much as possible.
