Explanation:

The USA Patriot Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001) is an act that was passed with the purpose of deterring terrorism in the United States. It allowed the government to punish terrorist acts and it enhanced law enforcement. It also strengthened the financial industry's measures to deal with matters such as money laundering. However, the act received a lot of criticism because many people believe that it weakens the protection of civil liberties, in particular the Fourth Amendment.
