Explain The controversy surrounding the US patriot act

History
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
3 0

The US Patriot Act has one big controversy about it. It is the part of it where it states ''other purposes''. While the rest of the act is specifically focused on certain things, the part ''other purposes'' is not specific, and it opens up the door for actions that are not against terrorism. It has been argued that this part of the act is actually enabling the US authorities to act against alleged future criminal activities, and treat the people that they suspect that may do a criminal activity in the future as criminals, despite them having done anything against the law, and using a method that is not a sure indicator by any means.

According to Thomas Paine, what are the three components of the British Constitution that needed to be examined and improved for
Alexxandr [17]
Paine first wrote about the relationship between society and government and how a government's efficacy could be judged only on its ability to protect the liberty and property of its citizens. He argued that the government laid out in the English constitution failed to do this.
Next, Paine argued against the concept of monarchy and hereditary succession. He used the Bible to illustrate God's condemnation of monarchies. Then he argued that America no longer needed England's help, and that because England had attacked its colonies, it was no longer deserving of their loyalties. He wrote that American commerce would be better off without England's help. He proposed a government of representative democracy. Finally, he discussed America's military strength and potential.
Once published "Common Sense" was amazingly popular. In 1776 it sold about 150,000 copies. George Washington ordered the pamphlet read to all his troops. According to Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon S. Wood, "Common Sense" was "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era."

Jack Fox was on Utah, he was getting to do his job. As a medic he had one of the most dangerous jobs in the army. Unarmed, the medics were always in the front lines and often exposed to the enemy. Jack must have wondered many times whether he was going to survive the carnage. Still, he kept on going, carrying his medical kit and ready for whatever was thrown at him.

What was the anaconda plan or union blockade stopping?
attashe74 [19]

The Anaconda plan was a war strategy developed by the Union to surround the Confederacy and to split it in half. the Union soldiers blockaded the East Coast city ports (along South Carolina, Georgia and along there). The Union came from the North (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois) to storm states such as Tennessee. They also blockaded along the Gulf of Mexico, blocking Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. The blockades were preventing the Confederacy to trade and make money with other countries. The Anaconda plan cut Louisiana in half because there was a railroad connecting New Orleans and Vicksburg. Taking control of the railroad meant that Confederate families would starve, die, and become helpless.
