Strongly disagree

Yes

Natural Rights ideology emphasizes the protection of individual liberties and rights, such as privacy and freedom from unwarranted government intrusion. The Patriot Act, which expands government surveillance powers, would be seen as a violation of these principles. However, some proponents of Natural Rights might argue that the Act is necessary for national security, hence the score is not -5.
