Answer:

Failure-of-proof defense

Explanation:

Failure of Proof Defense can be defined simply as defendant's acquittal is the result of the prosecution failing to prove one or more of the elements of a crime (Actus Reus, Mens Rea) or leaving reasonable doubt in the mind of the jury.

It usually develops or creates doubt in one or more elements of the offense thereby obstructing the prosecution from meeting its burden of proof.

What type of warning systems do places have to tell people there are going to be tsunamis?
jeyben [28]
There must be an earthquake detector in place to detect any earthquakes off the shores in the oceans. This system can be a regional or local system, and although the system is fallible the margin of error is very small.

Sometimes though the earth quake/movement is too close to shore to detect it in time, and people get caught in it as a result.

There also needs to be a universal warning signal that actually tells people that the tsunami is coming.

I hope this helped.

Welfare State.

A Welfare State is a way of governing a country where the government plays a key role in the protection and social well being of the people that live in the country.  It is based on the ideas of equal opportunity for all, a fair distribution of wealth across society, and public responsibility to help those who cannot help themselves.  An example of this is by providing free healthcare for all.
