Your task is to write a letter to the editor of the StarTribune expressing your opinion on the status of our country’s Bill of Rights, given the increased security actions our country has taken since 9.11. But before you can put pen to paper and write your letter, you need to learn more about what has been happening. You will need to study the USA PATRIOT Act, the anti-terrorist legislation passed by Congress on Oct. 25, 2001. You will also need to reread our Constitutional Bill of Rights. Many people in our country feel strongly about the increased security measures. Some feel its necessary—others feel we are threatening our very foundations of freedom. It’s your job to learn more about these differing opinions. Only when you have explored these issues will you be able to develop an informed opinion—an opinion worthy of publishing in the paper.
