One of the most difficult issues in criminal justice has been the balancing act between public safety and security and civil liberties. This balancing act has become even more difficult in the ongoing war on terrorism.  For instance, in 2013, a government contractor, Edward Snowden, leaked classified material from the National Security Agency (NSA). The leaks revealed NSA programs that secretly collected data regarding emails, texts, and phone use by Americans without probable cause. Many people felt the actions of the NSA were appropriate and that the government should be able to compromise constitutional rights to prevent terrorism. Others felt the NSA actions were illegal and had to be stopped. While most would agree that terrorism is a serious concern, how far should the government go? After reading the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the USA Patriot Act, the USA Freedom Act and the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments, research the actions of the government post 9/11 and write a paper. In your paper, – Determine whether the government’s overriding need to fight terrorism outweighs the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment rights of the people within the United States. – Evaluate whether or not 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments apply to terrorists since the writers of the Constitution could not have envisioned mass shootings and suicide bombers. – Assess whether the USA PATRIOT Act, USA FREEDOM Act, or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act violate the Constitution. – Determine whether United States Government violated the Constitution by its actions pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act, USA FREEDOM Act, or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance – Assess whether the 4th Amendment requirement of probable cause should be waived when investigating terrorism.

Provide an analytical discussion and conclude with an actual policy recommendation (no more than 10 pages in length).  Discussion: Discuss the alternatives to the current policy option by enumerating and explaining each policy option in turn. You should present several policy alternatives, and they must be serious alternatives. The alternatives presented must be serious contenders that have been weighed in terms of pros and cons. Pros and cons of each policy option should be discussed next. Identify the political, economic, and security implications for each option. Each policy option should be compared and contrasted to the other options as well as to the current policy. The analysis should seriously consider the feasibility of implementation, not only in terms of economic or strategic implications, but also in terms of political feasibility. There are always going to be some benefits and some costs to any policy proposal – there is no proposal so good that it does not have some costs associated with it. Trade-offs are the heart of the policy process. Recommendation: Clearly identify which option will be recommended and which options will be discounted. Clearly lay out the argument for why that option is better than each of the others. Support your arguments with both quantitative and qualitative evidence from academic literature.
