Summary

After terrorists struck the United States on September 11, 2001, Congress passed the Patriot Act, which expanded the government's surveillance authority to prevent future terrorist attacks. Supporters argued that the law was necessary to protect people's lives and national security, while others argued that it went too far, violating citizens' rights to privacy and free speech. Is the Patriot Act an appropriate defense against terrorism, or an infringement on basic liberties?

This eBook examines the history of the Patriot Act and delves into the pro and con arguments surrounding the law. It includes a timeline, primary sources, a bibliography, and a "Learn More About" chapter with more information on the topic.
