Robert Kennedy was attorney general during his brother John F. Kennedy's administration.
As attorney general, he fought organized crime and was a key supporter of the Civil Rights Movement.
In 1953 Kennedy became an advisor to the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations under Senator Joseph McCarthy. Kennedy left the position just six months later, objecting to McCarthy’s unjust investigative tactics.
In 1960 Kennedy managed brother John’s presidential campaign. When JFK was elected, Robert was made U.S. attorney general and became one of JFK’s closest cabinet advisors. When JFK was assassinated in 1963, Robert resigned as attorney general the following September and announced his intent to run for a senate seat.
In 1968 Kennedy ran against Eugene McCarthy in the presidential election primaries. On June 5, 1968, following his victory speech at the California Democratic Primary at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, Kennedy was shot several times by gunman Sirhan Sirhan. He died the next day at age 42, his promising presidential administration over before it began.
As the United States entered the World War II they have started developing nuclear projects under the orders of the president Harry Truman. WW2 represented a massive arms race and president Truman believed that the Nazis have started developing a nuclear bomb, so he ordered that the US began the same project immediately in hopes of finishing before the Nazis.
The Founding Fathers were from multiple different political parties. They didn't despise law and order, they just didn't want to be under the rule of the King of England. The whole reason they left England was to escape that rule. They understood that rule was needed, just not that type of rule.
