Privacy Rights
Over the years, humans have yearned for their rights, human rights; right to privacy. The
majority seeks a world where their privacy rights are not violated as in, the constitution
advocates for them of which most countries have it settled. In the United States of America,
every citizen is entitled to the right to privacy such that an investigation cannot go anywhere
further in an individual’s consent. Such power has been debated alongside others, but it seems to
raise awful ideas concerning the mode of expression the society sees into it and generally how
the states conduct themselves towards the same issue. Most of the individuals find a way to
disrespect the government by breaking the laws as their privacy concerns are catered for. For
example, the privacy rights are facilitated by three main parts in the history of U.S including the
federalism, the rights to liberty as well civil rights and which have had a significant impact on
the proper development to the U.S government in general either positively or negatively. Such
freedom that is linked to their privacy rights gives the residents a reason to rebel against the
government in as much as they are designed to help the state administer successfully. Therefore,
this paper will analyze genuinely how such freedom has had the impact to the U.S government as
well as the outside world regarding both positive and negative implications and the consequences
after that.
Federalism is one of the critical, innovative ideas that have significantly affected human
rights both positively and negatively as well as raising a lot of concern to the American citizens.
Federalism itself entails the separation of power by the national government to that of the state
governments. The hot debate is usually over the rights to privacy as to what extent such
federalism has impacted the issue. The sharing of power has made it easier for the residents to
make the laws for themselves that best suits them as long as they don’t interfere with others’

privacy. For instance, a single state enacts laws that protect them from the exploitation either
politically and security wise. When such happens, every other state makes laws based on the
ideas and thoughts of its citizens which in most favor them. Likewise, the federal government
protects the individual's rights to privacy by regulating how the states legislates their laws so as
not to interfere with its citizens as a result of privilege. Kochenov (2017) suggests that the for all
member states, the investigatory powers emphasize on the relevance of rights to privacy and that
determines to what extent should the individual be investigated.
Therefore, dealing with
federalism, the restriction works primarily to favor the individuals, and thus their rights are
guarded by the American constitution.
Consequently, federalism significantly affected the operations of most governments
worldwide. The citizens mostly rely on the rules as they feel protected by the laws that they
made on their own. In so doing they tend to be so arrogant to what the state policies are and
therefore engage in various activities that can be at times a risk and harmful to others. For
example, a majority of the federal governments are in trouble regarding security due to over
protecting their citizens such that they cannot be able to manage conflicts as well as curb
environmental disasters. Additionally, the sharing of power deprives the central government its
mandate to deal with some problems accordingly which might arise concerns in future since
significant decisions are left to be done by the state government making the central leadership be
only a custodian of the ultimate laws. For instance, the right to resist private search may
