Answer:

A. worried that the act gave the government too much unchecked

power.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Patriot Act was introduced following the attacks on America in September 2001. President George W. Bush signed the Act into law on October 24, 2001. The provisions have increased the ability of law-enforcement officers to monitor suspected criminals both in the country and abroad. And therefore unquestionable power to the government official which could threaten individual rights. While the government-held it was mandatory to counter-terrorism and saving American lives, some held belief that it would evade civil liberties.
