Investopedia explains 'USA Patriot Act'
Since its inception, the Patriot Act has been shrouded in controversy. Proponents of the act believe that it is a necessary evil in the face of new threats to America in the ever-changing international political climate. Civil libertarians see it as an unpatriotic means of limiting civil rights, infringing on free speech, interfering with freedom of the press and infringing on individual privacy rights.
