A Look at the Fourth Amendment
What constitutes probable cause? Does the Patriot Act violate the Fourth Amendment? These are just a couple of the many questions author Doreen Gonzales explores as she explains how the Fourth Amendment came to exist, why it is important, ways in which it has been challenged in the U.S. federal courts, and how it relates to today's issues of national security and ever-developing technology.
