No, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant

Strongly agree

No

Classical liberals would generally support the idea of not having the Patriot Act, as it infringes on individual liberties and privacy rights. They believe in limited government intervention and would argue that the act gives the government too much power to surveil citizens without proper checks and balances.

Agree

Yes, but limit the scope of the government’s powers

This answer aligns more closely with their principles of limited government and individual liberty than a full endorsement of the act.

Slightly agree

Yes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad

While this answer acknowledges that the surveillance and criminalization aspects of the Patriot Act are too broad, it still supports the act overall. Classical liberals would likely prefer a more decisive stance against the act, but they might appreciate the recognition of its problematic aspects. This answer is closer to their principles than a full endorsement of the act, but not as aligned as outright opposition or calls for stricter privacy protections.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Classical liberalism emphasizes individual liberty, limited government, and free markets. The Patriot Act, which expands government surveillance powers, is generally seen as a violation of individual privacy rights and an overreach of government authority. Classical liberals would likely oppose the act in its entirety, as it contradicts their core principles.
