If one-in-six private homes are entered without a warrant, that is not an &quot;undue burden&quot; on home owners. If one-in-six criminal defendants are forced to testify against themselves, or denied counsel, or a trial by jury, that is not an &quot;undue burden&quot; on defendants. If one-in-six families are required to quarter troops in their dens, that is not an &quot;undue burden&quot; on the family divan.
