    In the article titled “Forcing Apple to Hack That IPhone Sets a Dangerous Precedent”, Congressman Darrell Issa argues that protecting the privacy of millions of people should be more important that forcing Apple to unlock an iPhone that a terrorist used.

In the article, through the use of rhetorical question, simile and statistical facts, Congressman Issa is able to effectively show the readers…

In this paper, I will explore and discuss what rights we as people give up for a democracy, how privacy rights are not specifically stated in the Constitution, and how the NSA is not in violation of the Fourth Amendment.…
