The Patriot Act was created after the September 11th attacks to enhance law enforcement's capacity to combat terrorism through improved surveillance and intelligence sharing. President George W. Bush argued it was necessary to address outdated laws that could not effectively deal with modern terrorist threats. The Act's purpose was to disrupt and prevent terrorist activities before they occurred.
