USA PATRIOT Act

Out of all constitutional issues, one would think that the Patriot Act was the most serious for the country’s well being because the act allowed the government to spy on citizens, violating the Fourth Amendment. The United States was at one of the tensest times, which was the attack that occurred on 9/11, and the Congress was bullied by the Bush administration to pass the act. Not only did the act violate the Fourth Amendment, it also contravened with the First Amendment by not telling others…

This part of my paper will analyze the impact of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA) primarily on Information-Sharing. There were many trajectories to the law after the attack of September 11th 2001.

On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by terrorist groups in New York City by a terrorist group that cost thousands of lives. The acts of terrorism that happened in 2001 were followed by the U.S House writing an act that would be called “Provide Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism” or “The Patriot Act”. This act was eventually passed and put into effect. It being passed gave government intelligence agencies the power to intrude into personal lives of…

The United States may not be the best nation on earth but by the view of the people that live here…

granted federal law enforcement extremely broad and sweeping powers for prosecuting many crimes that don’t involve terrorism, in particular drug trafficking. Many of the provisions within the PATRIOT ACT had been specifically rejected by Congress before 9/11, but very few people, if anyone, actually read the PATRIOT Act as it had been changed in the middle of the night before voting. Our justice system is based upon a simple constitutional tenet. The government must have a reasonable…
