Act of Congress, Signed into law by George W. Bush. The Patriot Act. < http://www.fincen.gov/> The patriot acts were acts passed in the wake of the events that took place on September 11th, 2001. Its goals are to strengthen domestic security and broaden the powers of law-enforcement agencies with regards to identifying and stopping terrorists. This act threatens civil liberties, and the democracy it seeks to protect. This act can be related to the Homeland security act, due to the fact that it is interfering with the civil liberties of citizens. The information from this source helped me in proving my points, and it helped me study deeper into the acts. Bill of Rights. The Fifth Amendment. <Document> The fifth amendment is an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that imposes restrictions on the government's prosecution of persons accused of crimes; mandates due process of law and prohibits self-incrimination and double jeopardy; requires just compensation if private property is taken for public use. This amendment helped me prove that people have the right against self-incrimination, and Homeland security is contravening the amendment for the sake of the war on terrorism. Bill of Rights. The First Amendment. <Document> The first amendment is an amendment to the Constitution of the United States guaranteeing the right of free expression; includes freedom of assembly and freedom of the press and freedom of religion and freedom of speech. This amendment helped in my research by providing additional support that proves the right to our privacy. Bill of Rights. The Fourth Amendment.<Document> The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. This amendment helped in my research by allowing me to use it as an argument to prove that Homeland Security is accusing those of terrorism, and believe they have the ability search and seizure those who fit the profile.

Group presentation Essay, John A. Dowell as instructor. How Has the War on Terrorism Affected Civil Liberties? < https://www.msu.edu/~chritzti/135/groupessay.html> This essay speaks about governments responsibility to protect citizens, and the new gained power that law enforcement and intelligence agencies obtained after September 11th, 2001 in order to prevent any terrorist attacks in the future. The essay also talks about what civil liberties or amendments are being jeopardized due to governments new responsibility. I used this essay in assistance to form my main points, and look for valid details to include. Homeland Security. <DHS.gov> This website includes the cause, news, and involvement of Homeland Security. It is also the primary website for Homeland Security. It speaks about the cause, and reason for its birth, and how the common man can assist in protect the nation. I used this essay as a source just to be more informed on Homeland Security in general, to make sure I got all my information correct, and not going off biased information from other secondary sources. Leonard Wong and Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr. Homeland Security and civil liberties. <http://www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pdffiles/pub697.pdf> This is a PDF document from the University of Pennsylvania Law School that discusses Homeland security and civil liberties. The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) is a challenge unprecedented in American history. It dictates a reexamination of the balance between national security and civil liberties to accomplish the dual goals of preventing future attacks and maintaining our commitment to the U.S. Constitution This is a general point of the document, as well as speaking about the tension and the way Americans cherish their liberties. This helped in my project for information from a legal view coming from a law school. John Smith channel, Lawrence G. Walters as speaker. Civil Liberty Issues After 9/11 June 21st, 2013.<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikRi0vyM5yQ> As clearly evident by the title of the video, this video discusses the issues that occurred after 9/11. Lawrence G. Walters, the speaker, mentions security issues and privacy issues during the era of terrorism. I used this video as a resource for additional information on the issues, and how to explain those issues vividly. Surveillance Under the USA PATRIOT Act December 10, 2010 <https://www.aclu.org/national-security/surveillance-under-usa-patriot-act> This website speaks about many different things, involving the Patriot act. Some of the things mentioned were the reason for the passing of the act, the region of increase for governmental power, and how it can be seen as unconstitutional. I believe this information is viable due to the fact that it comes off of The American Civil Liberties Union website. I used the information in this article basically for verification of my claims, and general ideas.
