Law & Government

Law & Government

In light of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, the subsequent establishment of an Office of Homeland Security, and congressional approval of the Patriot Act, what Constitutional questions arise regarding the U. S. government’s role in balancing civil liberties with the threat of foreign hostilities?
Consider the Constitutional Context When Writing this Paper:

The Supreme Court has emphasized that the Constitution is a law "equal in war and peace" and that the maintenance of an orderly, civilian government is an overriding objective.

Any extraordinary government actions that intrude on constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties are impermissible, absent the most compelling justification. Make sure to include the following in your paper.

Discuss what actions you think the government should be taking to guarantee our security.
Discuss what actions are appropriate and which go too far. In this section, you should incorporate the competencies you have learned in the course. How does the social contract theory apply to this topic? Do core ethical values have a relationship to officer behavior? Is racial profiling an issue? What about privacy? How do police officer values, prejudices, and attitudes come into play? How will administrative culture and practices affect the effectiveness of any program?
Court Cases that illustrate the topic should be submitted with the final paper to back up your case where appropriate. You may use any of the readings in your lessons for the final paper, but you must also use readings you have found on your own to support your work.
