The Patriot Act was not needed by the government and was overblown and misused more often than not.

Explanation:

The Patriot Act out of many unconstitutional things it does, violates the fourth amendment which protects the people against unwarranted searching without any proper reason.

The law that was passed in the aftermath of the 2001 attacks on  the World Trade Center came as US wanted to increase home security and wanted to crack down on terrorists.

However, this law made itself a safeguard of Xenophobia.

many people were taken into custody and prisoners by the look of their skin and often persecuted for a long time before being set free.

What groups were not given freedoms and rights in the Constitution?​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: Black Americans and Women

Explanation:

When the Constitution was drawn up in the Constitutional Convention, certain groups were not catered for.

One of those groups were Black Americans. At the time, the southern economy was heavily dependent on slave labor so they did not want the enslaved people to gain freedoms and fought against it. They denied them the right to vote as well and during censuses did not count them as full human beings.

Some of these injustices were reversed after the Civil war but racial inequality was openly practiced for a long time afterwards until reforms at a Federal level (such as the Civil Rights Act) reduced most of them.

Women also were disenfranchised in a very patriarchal society. They were not allowed to vote and could not even some political offices. This led to the Suffrage movements of the 19th and 20th centuries that eventually got Congress to pass laws allowing women to vote. Congress has since then passed more laws aimed at reducing and eliminating discrimination on the grounds of being a woman since then.
