The Patriot Act, enacted in response to the September 11 attacks in 2001, aimed to enhance national security by expanding law enforcement's surveillance and investigative powers to prevent terrorism. In contrast, the Espionage Act, established in 1917, primarily addresses the unauthorized dissemination of military and government information, particularly during wartime, to protect national security from foreign adversaries. While both laws focus on national security, the Patriot Act is centered on terrorism prevention, whereas the Espionage Act pertains to spying and intelligence leaks.
