Patriots were brave men who were not loyal to Britain anymore, and some fought in militias (volunteer army) during battles against the Redcoats.


The Loyalists (loyal to Britain) still wanted America to be a colony of Britain, but they didn't want to be taxed so heavily. The Patriots wanted to break away and be free from Britain, and control their own lands.

What are the benefits of the US Patriot Act?

Asked by Wiki User

This is a highly contentious issue and opinions will vary. A lot depends upon whether a person's philosophical orientation is individualistic/libertarian or collectivistic/authoritarian.

To name the only positive that I am aware would be claimed, it may have resulted in some people not attacking us who otherwise would have. In fact, I think - while not liking the act - that it probably has deterred at least one amateur.

The opposite opinion would be that even if it did deter an attack or attacks, it comes at a cost that is higher than we may care to pay down the road. And that we might have been able to reduce attacks simply by changing some of our more controversial foreign policies.

What problem did the Patriot Act raise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some people were concerned that the Patriot Act violated civil rights because it gives the federal government the power to wiretap the communications of suspected terrorists. They felt that this could be violating these terrorists rights, because they had not yet been convicted of any crime. Those defending the Patriot Act pointed out that in other situations of criminal justice, a conviction is not required to obtain wiretaps, to search homes, etc., only probable cause in the form of a warrant. They stated that the Patriot simply extends this power to the pursuit of terrorists; if the government has probable cause to believe he/she is a terrorist, they can wiretap his phone and monitor his communications in the interest of preventing an attack.

Who authored the Patriot Act?

Asked by Wiki User

Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act on October 26, 2001, barely six weeks after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The bill was passed with little debate at the height of the anthrax contamination scare when many lawmakers did not have access to their offices. Sen. Russell Feingold (D-WI), the lone dissenter in the Senate, remarked that few had even read summaries, let alone the fine print.

Why was the us Patriot Act passed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the US was concerned that legal obstacles to obtaining vital intelligence would allow similar attacks. Congress passed the Patriot Act to remove the previous restrictions on obtaining and sharing important information on possible terrorist activities. In many cases this allowed actions by government agencies that would previously have been illegal or even unconstitutional (wiretaps, surveillance, monitoring private transactions, and searching private homes and businesses).

All of these activities were deemed necessary to provide increased protection of the US public from terrorist activities.
