Answer:

Option D=> The Fourth Amendment.

Explanation:

The Fourth Amendment is an amendment act that is meant to protect people's rights. The statement of the the Fourth Amendment is quoted below;

''The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, Shall not be violated and no Warrant Shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.''

During the time Edward Snowden was working with the Central Intelligence Agency, he revealed some top secrets that has to do with national security and one of what he revealed is the one given in the question.

What the National Security Agency (NSA) did was unconstitutional because of the Fourth Amendment that is to say people have the rights to their privacy and the right to know if infomation are being collected with regards to their privacy.

Compare and contrast the problems of the Articles of Confederation and evaluate their effects on American colonists.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:The Articles of Confederation held the new United States together long enough for it to prevail in the Revolutionary War, but once the war was over the league of friends quickly became a league of impoverished quibblers. The Founders had been so concerned with making sure the central government couldn’t become too powerful that they neglected to make it powerful enough to solve the issues facing a new nation.

Explanation:

The United States’ transition from a ragtag group of colonies to a successful independent nation was a little like the transition period from childhood to adulthood. As the colonies matured, American colonists grew to despise being treated as the children of Great Britain. Like rebellious teens, they vowed that when they won their independence, their government would be nothing like that of the mother country.

It’s no surprise that when the leaders of the former colonies finally did get the chance to set up their own government as the new United States, they were mostly focused on trying to avoid what they had perceived as abuses wrought by an overly-powerful government. Their first constitution was called the Articles of Confederation. It bound the states together in a loose “league of friendship” that permitted the states to retain nearly all government power.
