The greatest dangers were starvation, proper drinking material, (they generally all drank beer,) sinking from the weight of cargo, though the main cause of danger was sickness, which spread rapidly as everyone slept in one great room on cots and blankets, packed like sardines, and if someone got sick, generally everyone became sick, and many died on the ship itself.

It has the potential to lead to limits on rights by giving flexibility in making laws.
