Which provision of the USA patriot act of 2001 was later held to be unconstitutional

History

VikaD [51]3 years ago

The Patriot Act of 2001 is unconstitutional due to Section 215. This violates the Fouth Ammendment.

The Fourth Amendment says that the government cannot perform searches without first getting a warrant with probable cause. The Patriot Act allowed for the CIA, FBI, and NSA to search <em>without</em> a warrant, thus making Section 215 unconstitutional.

Please, please, please let me know if you have any more questions!

Question 1: Napoleon Bonaparte claimed to have put into practice the ideals of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment. Do y
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Question 1: Actually, he did not.  If he did export and spread the ideals of the Revolution, why did he appoint his brothers and other people to high points in government?  Apart from that, they held the position of kings and monarchs which is opposite to the ideals of the Revolution.  It should be that the people have the right to decide for themselves but they didn’t.  Instead, they lived in fear and rebelled against him.

Question 2: Both revolutions started rather moderately, with people demanding more representation in government. Neither gained the full support of everyone in the respective nations either, as evidenced by Loyalists in the US and counterrevolutions in areas like the Vendee in France. In France, the revolution became more radical and ideological, taking Enlightenment ideals and rationalism to the extreme. The revolution in France also led to the dictatorship of Napoleon and the restoration is Bourbon monarchs, so ultimately a return to the status quo, while the American Revolution was successful in gaining American independence. Furthermore, the French Revolution was fought in France while the American Revolution was fought in the colonies of England and never sought to completely depose George III, just remove his control of the colonies.

why are individual rights important to a democratic society in wartime? Why are there some limits on these rights?
ExtremeBDS [4]
There have always been conflicts between individual rights and national security interests in democracies. Limits on civil liberties during wartime, including restrictions on free speech, public assembly, and mass detentions, have been the most serious threats to individual freedom. Even in peacetime, counter-terrorist measures including profiling, detention, and exclusion, along with the use of national identification cards, have raised concerns about racism, constitutional violations, and the loss of privacy. With the passage of new anti-terrorist laws after September 11, 2001, these tensions have increased. Supporters of broader governmental powers insist that they are part of the increased security measures necessary to safeguard national security. In contrast, many civil rights groups fear that the infringement upon individual rights is another step in the erosion of democratic civil society.

Wartime measures. The severest restrictions on civil liberties have occurred in times of war. In September 1862, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) suspended the right of habeas corpus in order to allow federal authorities to arrest and detain suspected Confederate sympathizers without arrest warrants or speedy trials. Well aware of the drastic nature of such a step, Lincoln justified it as a necessary wartime measure. After the United States Supreme Court found Lincoln's abrogation of habeas corpus an unconstitutional intrusion on Congressional authority, Congress itself ratified the measure by passing the Habeas Corpus Act in September 1863. Through 1864, about 14,000 people were arrested under the act; about one in seven were detained at length in federal prisons, most on allegations of offering aid to the Confederacy but others on corruption and fraud charges.
