RJA #2b Possible Research topics

For my research topic I chose to research the Patriot Act. I chose to question whether or not the Patriot Act is considered unconstitutional or not. There are many arguments to both sides, and I wanted to consider the problem in depth and to research a goal. It will be interesting to look into the facts, and to get different views on the subject.

Currently I do not know much about my subject. I have not read the patriot act in full so I do not know in complete detail how, and where it is unconstitutional. On another note, I also do not know the constitution in depth, and will have to see where the two correlate, and where they cross paths. I have heard the debate many times, and I wanted to get a full look into what is wrong with the Patriot Act. I do know that the Patriot Act was passed to prevent terrorist attacks, and to keep people safe. But on that note it is why is was passed so fast, that creates the problem in which it was not read in depth, or read by very many people. I also know that the people could not prevent the act from being passed because it was all congress and not the people.

I don't know a lot about the Patriot Act so i would like to learn about it. I also don't know the constitution or the amendments in full so I will enjoy learning about those. I really don't know a lot off facts involving either of the two subjects, so i want to get to the bottom of the argument.

  1. Your topic seems to be more political than scholarly. If you focus on the Constitution and take a historical or philosophical approach, something related to this could work.
