Write a paragraph that expresses your opinion about the Patriot Act. Do you think it was right to give the government more power to prevent terrorist attacks? Be sure to explain your reasoning.

The Patriot Act was not needed by the government and was overblown and misused more often than not.

Explanation:

The Patriot Act out of many unconstitutional things it does, violates the fourth amendment which protects the people against unwarranted searching without any proper reason.

The law that was passed in the aftermath of the 2001 attacks on  the World Trade Center came as US wanted to increase home security and wanted to crack down on terrorists.

However, this law made itself a safeguard of Xenophobia.

many people were taken into custody and prisoners by the look of their skin and often persecuted for a long time before being set free.

what precedent do you see the ordinance of 1787 setting for the 1st amendment of the us constitution : )
