Answer to Question 1

Although law enforcement agencies may be in favor of the Patriot Act, civil libertarians are troubled because they view the act as eroding civil rights. Some complain that there are provisions that permit the government to share information from grand jury proceedings and from criminal wiretaps with intelligence agencies. First Amendment protections may be violated because the Patriot Act authority is not limited to true terrorism investigations but covers a much broader range of activity involving reasonable political dissent. Though many critics have called for its repeal, it was reauthorized in 2006 with a slew of provisions ensuring that the act did not violate civil rights by limiting its surveillance and wiretap authorizations.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
