The correct answer is D) The McCarthy Senate hearing.

The 1950's in America brought on the beginning of the Second Red Scare. This fear of communism infiltrating American society caused members of the federal government to take drastic action. A perfect example of this would be the House Un-American Activities Commitee.

This committee, led by individuals like Congressman Joe McCarthy, forced individuals to come before the Senate to discuss their links to the Soviet Union or communist party. Many of these individuals called were not charged with a legitimate crime nor was their evidence to indicate  that they were guilty of doing anything wrong. This was a huge infringement on the rights of citizens, as they were forced to answer questions and be put on trial without their proper due process rights.

Define "paranoia." How was the paranoia of the 20s expressed? How was it related to isolationism?
elixir [45]

Paranoia refers to a feeling that can exist in humans and which is heavily influenced by anxiety or by fear. People who suffer from this often feel themselves to be persecuted, or hated and threatened by everyone. These people might also believe in conspiracies, which can result in irrational fear.

During the 1920s, the country experienced a period of paranoia. The trauma of World War I was fresh in people's minds, and many were fearful of ever being threatened in such a way again. This led to a strong fear of the "other." This was expressed in practices such as increased racism (ex. the rise of the Ku Klux Klan) or political intolerance (ex. the Red Scare against communists). This was also expressed through isolationism, as many people believed that by keeping the country free of foreign influence, they would be less threatened by dangerous foreign forces, such as communism.
