Signed into law on october 26, 2001, the usa patriot act has received criticism because

a)it faced great opposition from congress
b)of its damaging impact on the environment.
c)it greatly increased taxes on the middle classes
d)of its curtailing of civil rights in order to fight terrorism.

The correct answer is D) of its curtailing of civil rights in order to fight terrorism.

The Partiot Act stands for Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism. This federal law allows the government to wiretap phones and record private conversations. The goal of this was to monitor suspected terrorists to ensure that an attack like the one on September 11th, 2001 never passed again. However, some people argue that this law gives the federal government too much power and infringes on their civil liberties.
