Identify and describe the significance of the three sources that have affected the balance between security and rights in the detention of terrorist suspects since 9/11

What will be an ideal response?


Since 9/11, three official acts document the changes in the balance between
preserving national security and the rights of individuals to come and go as they
please. These three acts are: one, Presidential Proclamation 7463; two,
Congressional "Authorization for Use of Military Force?" and three, the president's
military order of November 13, 2001 ("Detention, Treatment, and Trial of Certain
Non­Citizens in the War Against Terrorism"). Presidential Proclamation 7463
declared a "national emergency by reason of certain terrorist attacks.". That same
day, Congress threw its weight behind the president's war powers in a joint
resolution, "Authorization for Use of Military Force.". Finally, President Bush issued
the Military Order of November 13, 2001 to establish military commissions for the
trial of non-citizens accused of engaging in terrorist activities.
