The USA PATRIOT Act, enacted in October 2001 in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, expanded the government's surveillance and investigative powers to combat terrorism. It allowed for increased information sharing among government agencies, enhanced law enforcement capabilities to monitor communications, and broadened the definition of terrorism. While supporters argued it was necessary for national security, critics raised concerns about civil liberties and potential abuse of power. The act has faced ongoing debate regarding its implications for privacy and constitutional rights.
