discuss how the USA-PATRIOT Act forgoes some liberties in the name of the greater order.

—

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DISUSSION:

Write argumentative essays!

Identify which liberties, and what amendments to the constitution guarantee those liberties (provide definitions and explanations). Please, explain your agreement or disagreement with the USA-PATRIOT Act from a Constitutional perspective.

In your replies, please focus the constitutional nature of the discussion. Always, support your arguments with the readings. ‘A “yes, I agree with you comment” is not a critical assessment of your peerâ€s commentâ€

Required Textbooks:

Kenneth, J., Berry, J., Goldman, J., Schildkraut, D. & Hula, K. (2014). The Challenge of Democracy: American Government in Global Politics, The Essentials. 9th edition. New York, NY: Wadsworth/Cengage Learning.

King, J., Barghothi, A.J., Garner, A. & Schuhmann, R. (2012). The Equality State: Government and Politics in Wyoming. 7th edition. Peosta, IA: Eddie Bowers Publishing

In them, you will show not only your understanding of the topic, but your capacity to evaluate and provide constructive criticism (critical thinking) on the subject matter. A “yes, I agree with you comment” is not a critical assessment of your peerâ€s comment. Please, feel free to rebut any comment in an environment of democratic and respectful disagreement. Always, support your arguments with scholar evidence (books or journals).  Discussion Boards will close on Mondays at 11:59 p.m. It is your responsibility to keep up with all assignments; therefore, I suggest you to avoid any Internet issue by posting your comments and responses before the deadline.  Please, communicate effectively using appropriate sources. Pay attention on “…how each comment and open-ended question will be graded”.
