Which of the following establishes the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure by the government?
  1. U.S. Constitutions
  2. Every U.S. state constitution
  3. The Privacy Act
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure by the U.S. government. These rights are outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
 
 Many groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, American Civil Liberties Union, and Human Rights Watch have stated objections to The Cloud Act. These groups have asserted that, under The Cloud Act, the government can establish data-sharing contracts with foreign countries, allowing for bypassing U.S. courts. In these cases, U.S. users would not necessarily receive notice when U.S. government-agency-issued warrants were issued to obtain their data.
