1. The “war on terrorism” or “war on terror” is the name given by the American administration to its military campaigns in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001. According to P. Williams the war on terror was a new type of a war since it was partly led by act of revenge and fear it violate the rights of many citizens. People rights were left a side. We can also see this war as the first of its kind as it was mostly about pressure and fear.
  2. the “Roving Wiretaps” of the Patriot Act seem to violate a few things including amendments and so the Bill of Rights. First it seems like the roving Wiretaps violates the fourth amendment that protects citizens against unreasonable searches without a warrant. Since it can allow investigators to potentially obtain information from innocent parties using the fact that they have been in contact with the suspect even for a casual thing such as a restaurant being contacted by the suspect. This led to privacy violations of those parties so violates an amendment and the Bill of Rights.
  3. Sneak and peak warrants seem like also violating the fourth amendment since it allows search of a suspect’s property without their consent while they aren’t there. It’s done without immediately notifying the suspect which is not respecting the Bill of Rights at all.
