to guard the nation against terrorism

Answer 2

the answer is D. the PATRIOT act actually stands for "providing appropriate tools required to intercept and obstruct terrorism," though the full title of the law is a bit longer. this law was signed in 2001, soon after the attack on the twin towers in new york on september 11th.
