Does the usa patriot act violate the 5th amendment

History
1 answer:
SashulF [63]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Why is the government during the time of Moses important to us today?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: Americans faced a similar moment of chaos after the Revolution. One Connecticut preacher noted that Moses took 40 years to quell the Israelites' grumbling: Now "we are acting the same stupid part." And so just as a reluctant Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, then handed down the Ten Commandments, a reluctant George Washington led the colonists to victory, then presided over the drafting of the Constitution. The parallel was not lost. Two-thirds of the eulogies at Washington's death compared the "leader and father of the American nation" to the "first conductor of the Jewish nation."

Why did Shi Huangdi have the Great Wall built?
Flauer [41]
Shi Huangdi had the Great Wall of China built to protect the Chinese states and borders against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. This included the Mongols to the north, which had been very powerful during the rule of Genghis Khan. The other purposes of the Great Wall were border controls, allowing duties on goods during the period of the Silk Road, regulation and encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration.
