| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the aftermath of terrorism in the United States pre- and post 9/11 to determine how individuals' civil rights were impacted. On September 11th, 2001, four terrorist attacks were carried out in the United States. The looming threat of terrorism led to legislative changes affecting the American people. The research will answer how the uncertainty of terrorism impacted legislation and how the legislative changes affected Americans' rights. Relevant civil rights legislation and Supreme Court rulings pre- and post-September 11th, 2001, will show how state power increased after 9/11. This paper explores the conception of American society through its founding and major societal changes impacting civil rights. The formation of law enforcement institutions, such as slave patrols, police departments, and federal agencies. The legal precedent of civil protections from the country's founding until September 11th, 2001. The changes in government procedures due to the security issues posed during 9/11 led to the reconstruction of federal agencies and methods of surveillance by law enforcement, protected under the expansion of qualified immunity. | eng |
