Paper Summary:
This paper examines how the violation of the Constitution of the United States, which is formally termed as "non-compliance', has been seen throughout the history of the United States and how, specifically, it has occurred during times of war during civil disturbances, with the use of extrajudicial force used to supercede the ordinary process of law. It looks at how one such instance occurred during the Civil War and how the violations, which have occurred during the "War on Terrorism", are some of the most blatant violations of constitutional ideals and principles ever witnessed.

Conclusion
From the Paper:
"Although it is understandable for some restrictions during war time in order to keep citizens safe and the country secure it is evident that since September 1, 2001, that the non-compliance to the Constitution which is evidenced by the implementation of the Homeland Security Act and the Patriot Act that the all inclusive powers of the government in spying on citizens is too broad of a scope of powers to be vested in a government of a democracy."
