Does the usa patriot act violate the 5th amendment

History

SashulF [63]3 years ago

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.

How did the law help to unify Muslim society?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
The law helped unify the Muslim society because the law states that everyone on this earth is equal, and that behavior and how you treat others plays a huge role on how they unite. The Muslims pray together, break fast together, and work together. That is what made the Muslim society strong and held it from breaking apart. <span />

What benefits did Europe gain as a result of the colonization of Africa?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The European colonizer looked for more raw materials that were needed to manufacture goods in Europe. While they also needed a new marketplace and Africa helped with that too, that was not the primary benefit that the colonizers got. Africa had a lot of raw materials that were untouched and Europeans used that to their advantage.
