The Patriot Act was unconstitutional because after watching the film I got a sense that it showed that the Patriot Act was implemented by using terrorism as a cover in order to greatly expand federal law enforcement. They abused their powers without real evidence, of course 9/11 was huge, but they just stereotyped all middle eastern people into a group that they were all terrorists. They damaged so many people, by defamation of character and it made people turn on each other. The Patriot Act changed the character of America it made us look worse and strain even worse our relations with other countries. It conflicted with the ideas that our country was founded upon because it went against our constitutional rights. It has made America and its people not really safer because at any moment the Middle East or Asia can attack us because of our prejudiced towards them.
