The actions and surveillance programs of the NSA violate the rights to privacy of American citizens stated in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
The Fourth Amendment states that American citizens have the right to be secure in their persons and property and are protected from unreasonable search and seizures without a proper warrant.
There is much animosity from the American people toward the NSA because they feel their rights are being violated.
Many Americans are not willing to give up their privacy for supposed increased national security.
If nothing is done, the rights of U.S. citizens will continue to be infringed upon, and this could lead to a larger distrust of the American government among U.S. citizens then is already present.
