Privacy Rights In The United States - Federal vs. State Governments

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: A, , course: Constitutional Law, language: English, abstract: The topic on privacy of the people has been a concern for many recently. This is because governments have been seeking to get personal information about citizens for purposes of maintaining security and taming terrorism. The foregoing is not acceptable as everyone is entitled to the right of privacy and no one should be allowed to deny anyone that liberty to have privacy. The paper therefore seeks to discuss how privacy issues have been dealt with in the US especially how the Federal and State governments apply restrictions to the topic.
