Answer:
The correct answer is - yes, it violates civil liberties.
Step-by-step explanation:
After the incident of 9/11, the Patriot Act was enforced in the name of national security, which violates the fourth amendment that allows civil liberties. This act modified the surveillance laws.
By this modification, it is easier for the government to invade the privacy of ordinary Americans by monitor phone and email communications, collect bank and credit reporting records, and other private information.
