"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives." -Ronald Reagan **The Patriot Act** The Patriot Act was created to find the terrorist in America. The act removes barriers that could delay an investigation of something or someone suspicion, which makes the process faster. It also has helped to fight crimes associated with terrorism. It allows families and victims that have been hurt by a terrorist can get the support they need. However, the act is violating the Constitution. In the First Amendment protects freedom of speech and the Forth Amendment protects against unnecessary searches. The Patriot Act allows unconstitutional spying on American citizens with little improvement in national security. If the FBI is questioned, FBI officials can state that the investigation is important to national security and they may continue. __**News Articles and Web Pages**__ http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=98647 This article is about the government invading people's privacy using technology. https://www.aclu.org/top-ten-abuses-power-911 This about the 10 ten ways the government abused their power after 911. http://guardianlv.com/2013/06/patriot-act-and-the-end-of-privacy/ This article is about how the Patriot Act invades our privacy. http://www.jstor.org/stable/24115666?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=government&searchText=privacy&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dgovernment%2Bprivacy%2B%26amp%3Bprq%3Dgovernment%2Bprivacy%2Band%2Bprotection%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bunited%2Bstates%2Bof%2Bamerica%26amp%3Bgroup%3Dnone%26amp%3Bhp%3D25%26amp%3Bfc%3Doff%26amp%3Bacc%3Don%26amp%3Bwc%3Don%26amp%3Bso%3Drel&seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Government and privacy issues article [|asociacioniraila.com] __**Youtube Videos**__ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLZnLPxpXX4 This video is about how the government is using Facebook to look at your personal info this video is about how the government watches people all over the world until one man revealed the government to the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUSQ46ESCwE __**Blogs**__ http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2014/10/16/fbi-chief-pendulum-on-privacy-has-swung-too-far/
