Remember that 9/11 just occurred – incorporate that mindset into this assignment. •Should U.S. Citizens who are declared to be “Enemy Combatants” be able to contest (argue) their detention before a Judge?

First, you need to know who is considered an enemy combatant, and second, realize it is our Constitutional right as humans on American soil to receive our rights.
