Thoughts of the Patriot Act

The passing of the Patriot Act was a quality idea. This enabled people to be safer and regulated by the government. It is necessary for the government to be in control in order to ensure security in society. The Patriot Act allows authority to monitor emails and personal information to create a well functioning society. This keeps terrorists and danger out of the country and protects the citizens. Because all people are evil, the threat of invaders would be a pressing issue. However, if America did not have a democratic government in the first place, this problem would not be occurring. The Patriot Act is a great step in the right direction but needs to go further to control the people in the United States. Humans are not trustworthy and as a wise man once said, "It is not wisdom but authority that makes law" (Thomas Hobbes).
