Senator Joseph McCarthy delivered the <em>Wheeling, West Virginia</em> speech on February 9, 1950. Right there he reminded Abraham Lincoln’s phrase “when a great democracy is destroyed, it will not be from enemies from without, but rather because of enemies from within.”

This argument was a key moment in McCarthy speech because he grabbed the audience’s attention and made a clear point from the beginning. As Lincoln's did in his “Lyceum Address”, Senator McCarthy warned that the danger to the U. S. was not foreign menaces but domestic.

The speech was delivered in Lincoln Day, and when he stated that they were there to “celebrate the one hundred forty-first birthday of one of the greatest men in American history”, he wanted to reinforce that Lincoln was an outstanding man who influenced America and warned about the internal problems of the country.

Why did the Supreme Court reject the state of Georgia law for removing the Cherokee their land?
kupik [55]

Congress passed the removal bill that May, and by September Jackson had begun negotiating with the Chickasaws, the Choctaws and the remaining Creeks to move west. Within four years they would be under land cession treaties or on the move. Some Seminoles also left in the early 1830s, and others fought the Army in Florida for several years. But Ross refused even to meet with Jackson. Instead, he turned to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the justices to invalidate Georgia’s removal law.

As the court’s spring session opened in March 1831, Georgia officials roamed the Capitol to rally states’ rights advocates to the idea of stripping the justices of their power to review the acts of state governments. The justices—in an act that historians would say reflected their worry over the talk coming out of Congress—ruled that they lacked jurisdiction over the Cherokees’ claims against Georgia. Chief Justice John Marshall offered their only hope when he wrote that “the Indians are acknowledged to have an unquestionable...right to the lands they occupy.”

What is the writer's argument about knowing a second language?
Tasya [4]
Not knowing what title or author is being referenced, it is honestly hard be able to say what the writer’s argument is about knowing a second language. But writing a thesis statement in response to whatever the argument is could look like this, “Knowing a second language gives one an advantage in society and in education as proved by public perception and modern media.”
Again, not knowing the authors side of the argument or exactly what their argument amounted to, it would be be hard to write a response to it specifically.
