Answer :

Final answer:

The Patriot Act expanded federal surveillance powers for counterterrorism, defining international and domestic terrorism, while Homeland Security enforces these laws.


Explanation:

The Patriot Act, officially known as the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, expanded the powers of the federal government to legally use surveillance against any individual suspected of involvement in international or domestic terrorism.
