1: The freedoms guaranteed by the fourth amendment are the most vulnerable to ethics violations in responses to terrorism. In fact they have already been threatened with the Patriot Act(Beau), NSA wiretapping(Sage), and the Freedom Act(Destiny). All of these acts have seen the United States Government be able to search through someone’s history without a warrant. The 4th Amendment States, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”, and that “no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause”. This clear violation of the fourth amendment put Americans rights at risk. It may have seemed right at the time, but looking back we cannot watch everyone just to catch a few people who are doing the wrong thing. …show more content…

I feel that most people agree, but the problem is where we define “personal liberties”. For example, some have argued that getting your bags checked before getting on an airplane is a violation of civil Liberties. To put it bluntly, that is a stupid argument. People have many ways to get to different areas. If they did not want to get checked then they should not have flown in the first place. If someone has plenty of options on how to do something, then one that requires a bag check is not a violation of their rights because they could have chosen another option without the check. They have the freedom to choose, allowing them to defend their fourth amendment rights. What we need is a clear line of where civil liberties are. Only at this point can we adjust for what is considered a

    “The Fourth Amendment wasn't written for people with nothing to hide any more than the First Amendment was written for people with nothing to say.” (Dave Krueger). The Fourth Amendment protects the people's values, including the right of privacy. The Fourth Amendment includes, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, paper, effects, against unreasonable searches and seizure, shall not be violated.” When the founding fathers created the Constitution they ensured the people fundamental laws that would be used to any issue portrayed in the Supreme Court. That gave the people a relief that no one is ever above the law that is created. The privacy of the people was a very big value enforced by warrants. In the case of the

It can help children be better problem solvers and help teach them how to make hard decisions. Technology can help children learn more about the world around them and how the world around them works.

  • Civil Liberties and Rights

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout American history, our civil liberties as American citizens have evolved immensely. For example, the first ten amendments in the U.S. Constitution are referred to as the “The Bill of Rights,” which contains some of the most cherished civil liberties, such as freedom of speech and religion. These civil liberties however, did not originally apply to state governments or institutions the state established. The Bill of Rights focused solely on what the national government could not do, allowing state governments to do whatever they wanted. For example, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire supported Congregationalist ministers with tax payer dollars for decades. After the Civil War, civil liberties expanded, because three new amendments were added: the Thirteenth, abolishing slavery, the Fourteenth, which redefined civil liberties and rights, and the Fifteenth, which allowed adult, male citizens to vote. The due process clause (contained in the Fourteenth Amendment) became one of the most important civil liberties, because it applied the language of the Fifth Amendment to state governments, proclaiming that they could not “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law....

    For example, airport screening is a violation to our right of privacy, but it is done to help save our own life as well as the life of others from terrorism and other dangers. A criminal’s right of liberty is infringed when they are sent to prison to serve a sentence for a crime committed and it is considered legal because it addresses a concern for public safety. Abortion is legal in some places, but in my opinion it shouldn’t be legal anywhere because it is a form of disrespecting an unborn baby’s right to live. The baby has not had the chance to experience life outside his or her mother’s womb and therefore its death can’t be justified as if it was done because he or she was a threat to society. No matter the reason behind the mother’s decision of wanting to abort her kid (if she was a rape victim, if she knew the fetus would be born with a severe illness or disability, or even worse, if this baby was simply an accident and she did not want the responsibility of taking care of a minor, etc) it still shouldn’t be lawful nor

    From the beginning, the United States Constitution has guaranteed the American people civil liberties. These liberties have given citizens rights to speak, believe, and act freely. The Constitution grants citizens the courage to express their mind about something they believe is immoral or unjust. The question is, how far are citizens willing to extend the meanings of these liberties? Some people believe that American citizens take advantage of their civil liberties, harming those around them. On the contrary, many other people feel that civil liberties are necessary tools to fight for their Constitutional rights.
