Where exactly in the Federalist Papers or the Constitution is the authorization for either Congress or the President to suspend the Bill or Rights without a formal Declaration of War?

I have read it pretty carefully, and I can't find one anywhere.

I must have an old copy or something....

I would like to know this too.

If you think about it the amendments came after the main part was written. Would that not have priority over anything before them ?
