1. What are the issues related to the Bill of Rights? Please indicate which amendments are involved. 2. Does this bill violate any rights granted in the Bill of Rights? Explain.

3. Would this bill help or hurt Americans? Explain.

The issue in the article is saying that a person who is accused of being a terrorist can stay in jail indefinitely without having a trial. This is very unfair to the accused because it means that even an innocent person can be in jail forever. That is why going on trial is necessary. To determine whether you are guilty or not. This law is violating the Amendment 6 of Bill of Rights. It states that if you are arrested, you have a right to hold a trial and the government can't keep you in jail without proven guilty. You have the right to know what you are accused of. This bill would help Americans. Although this is unfair, this saves the risk of a guilty person running out in the street, having the possibility of killing people. Some guilty people can be proven innocent accidentally. However, when any suspected people are all in jail, the people who has possibility of being a terrorist can be separated from the society. Also, people would try to not get suspected, so that would do anything to not have a suspicion. They would be careful about their actions. This is safe for the Americans.
