Paper Abstract
A 5 page research paper that offers an overview evaluation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Proponents of Homeland Security argue that this institution is a necessary precaution for ensuring national security. Opponents wonder if its powers will be used to justify the "exercise of prerogative power" in a manner that is harmful to the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms (Relyea, 2002). This examination of the record of Homeland Security, thus far, attempts to discern, which of these positions has the greatest validity. The writer concludes that the DHS is "better than nothing," but not by much. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
