Answer 1

The correct answer is A. a series of bills passed after 9/11 to increase security by permitting the government to monitor communications and access to financial and personal information of people living in the U.S.

After the events of 9/11, president Bush had to do something - this is when his administration created this Act in order to improve security within the US, as well as to prevent any terrorist attacks from happening again.
