Answer: Critics of Patriot Act File Suit to Limit Spying on Potential Terrorists

Step-by-step explanation:

A current headline would be one that deals with issues in the 21st century.

Option A would be incorrect because the voting age was moved to 18 in 1971 with the ratification of the Twenty-sixth Amendment.

Option B would be incorrect as well because child labor laws were passed in the early 1900s.

Option D would be incorrect as well as the National Interstate Highway System started construction in 1956.

Option C would be the best answer because the Patriot Act was only enacted in 2001 and still has critics till this day.
