Answer 1

The correct answer is B. People were denied their right to free speech

Explanation:

The Palmer Raids were a series of Raids by the United States Department of Justice led by Attorney General Michell Palmer during 1919 and 1920 which were part of the First Red Scare, a historical period in which American Government fought against a possible widespread of anarchism and Bolshevism. During these raids, multiple immigrants, communists, and anarchists were captured and many were deported. Additionally, the Palmer Raids were seen as a violation of the civil liberties as during most of the captures did not follow the legal process, and the captures were against freedom of speech which means the right to express opinions was not guaranteed as those anarchism or communism ideas were legally punished with prison and deportation which is against civil liberties.
