Does the usa patriot act violate the 5th amendment

History

The answer is yes.

<em>The USA PATRIOT Act</em> is an act of Congress signed into law by President Georg Bush on October 26, 2001. Its full title is : 'Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001'. The goal of this act was to strengthen national security after the September 11 attacks.

This acts is controversial because it violates some Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, especially the 4th and the 5th one.

<em>The 5th Amendment</em> states that no person should be ' deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law'. The Patriot act however, allows the Attorney General to hold a person ( especially a non-citizen or an alien) in detention indefinitely if he/she is a threat to the nation's security, even without a criminal conviction. This contradicts the 5th Amendment.

If you could change anything in the world, what would it be? Why? Describe the problem. Describe a realistic way to fix it. How
Alborosie

Answer:

If I could change anything in the world, I would change the government system. This is because the government rules more minor subjects like school, transportation, economics, and more. By changing the government system, these subjects will also slowly start to get better for all citizens. Some of the problems many people are facing are trouble in school, money bills, etc. These problems can come to a stop only when the governors decide to fix them.  A realistic way we can fix this problem is by kicking some governors (who didn't help the nation for the better) and giving much more reliable and wiser people the position. These kinds of people will listen to their citizens and help out as much as they can. If chaos starts happening, people should go on a peaceful protest to get what they want. This would make the world a much better place as many problems will slowly start going away.
