ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Privacy and security are two important factors people always love to cherish. Where they can find it, people call it home. Once there is a breach of privacy and security, they cannot live there and abandon the lands to seek shelter elsewhere. Violence in the neighborhood, corrupt government, irrelevant intrusion of unreasonable governmental authorities are some factors that breach privacy and security. Thus, to ensure that these are not intruded on by any external force, the Fourth Amendment of the U.S Constitution declared to its people that the people's right against violation of privacy during a governmental search or seizure would not be overruled. The amendment, however, only stands for 'unreasonable' intrusions and searches on the part of the government. The people are not legally protected against the invasion of other factors. Again, who decides whether the governmental intrusion is reasonable or not is entirely debatable.
