The term McCarthyism refers to the practice of making public accusations of subversion or treason, usually of being a Communist, without proper evidence.

The term originated in the United States in the 1950s when the American politician Joseph McCarthy, who was a U.S. Senator at the time, <u>accused many Americans of being infiltrated Communists, even though there weren't unsubstantiated charges, and which resulted in a series of investigations and hearing in an effort to expose them</u>. The accusations and investigations were in America's spotlight for a while.

How does the media influence how people vote ?
velikii [3]

Answer:

Citizens learn about politics and government primarily from television and newspapers; these media outlets can influence voters not only through the slant of a particular report, but also merely by choosing which to stories to cover. This study measured the effect of receiving free subscriptions to either a liberal or conservative leaning newspaper on voters’ political knowledge and opinions in the United States. Results demonstrated that neither subscription had an impact on voters' political knowledge, but that both subscriptions caused voters to increase their support for the Democratic presidential candidate. This suggests that the informational effect of news exposure was stronger than the effect of the slant.

Which of the following summarizes Jefferson’s views of “the people” in this passage
xxTIMURxx [149]
I'm going to assume you are learning about the Democratic-Republicans, Federalists, Anti-Federalists, etc... So I'll answer as best as I can since I've learned this.

Jefferson's view on "the people" was that they were very honest and weren't going to do anything bad, he believed people weren't animals basically.

(I know the question does not ask this, but here's the other side)
However, Hamilton believed that "the people" were untrustable and terrible human being, he indeed believed they were animals.

I hope I helped!
