A short circuit which offers very low, practically zero, fault resistance is called "dead short circuit". further more it bypasses the entire load current through itself.

Why does energizing the starter solenoid cause a dead short on the battery and is there any circuit protection - 1982 Buick Regal?

No,there is no circuit protection between the battery and the starter. If the starter is causing a dead short to ground, there is definitely something wrong with the starter. Pull it and have it checked. The switch that engages the high current is inside the starter. If the starter is fried and perhaps something melted to ground, every time you engage it you will get a dead short.
