Answer:
An example of a law that today is considered controversial and, therefore, resisted by a large part of the population is the USA PATRIOT Act, which grants the US government more opportunities to gather information about and act in the event of possible terrorism.
The Patriot Act has been widely criticized for violating the civil rights of the American people too much, especially in terms of privacy. In addition, there is the criticism that the law would be stigmatizing because it mainly offers opportunities to investigate and expel immigrants and foreign visitors.
