The History of the US Patriot Act
After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 the federal government had an almost immediate reflex action in order to prevent another such occurrence.
This was not unusual, as throughout American history laws have been passed that were ostensibly to provide security but eventually became too intrusive and often labeled unconstitutional.
The other side of the argument is that certain laws were required to increase national security and protect American citizens, and were therefore necessary depending upon the circumstances.
We will discuss both arguments here.
