The quote below is from a Declaration of Conscience written by Senator Margaret Chase Smith in the 1950s: "Those of us who shout

the loudest about Americanism . . . are all too frequently those who . . . ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism-the right to criticize, the right to hold unpopular beliefs, the right to protest, the right of independent thought. . . . Freedom of speech . . . has been so abused by some that it is not exercised by others." In this quote, Smith is condemning which of the following?

The correct answer is McCarthyism.


During the 1950's, America was paranoid about communism spreading into the United States. These fears were escalated thanks to the claims made by Senator Joe McCarthy. McCarthy gave several speeches all over the country talking about how he had a list of communists with the US government, military, and other facets of American life. These claims ruined peoples lifes, as many Americans were forced to report to the House Un-American Activities Committee in order to be questioned by Congress.


This type of bullying and blacklisting individuals was infringing on the rights guaranteed to Americans in the Bill of Rights. This statement is the core argument of Margaret Chase Smith's denunciation of McCarthyism.

Climate change or global warming is not new for planet earth. It is a phenomenon that has happened in the past according to scientists and national agencies. It is believed that global warming had caused natural disasters such as the melting of ice caps and the flooding of many lands on Earth, destroying life forms.

That is why right now, many agencies are closely researching climate change. Among those institutions are the US National Academy of Sciences, the Geological Society of America, the American Meteorological Society, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

What made the british authorities wary of declaring war against the french in north america in 1754?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

A) They believed the American colonists were incapable of cooperating in their own defense.

Explanation:

Options:

A. They believed the American colonists were incapable of cooperating in their own defense.

B. Native American tribes were sure to side with the French over the British.

C. The colonists protested against the deployment of British troops in North America.

D. The king insisted that the colonies were not generating enough income to support a war.

As a result of Britain's humiliation, the potential for French intervention and a European war became more and more likely. North's administration, concerned about a war with France, wanted to mend relations with the American colonies and was willing to allow them some autonomy to that end in 1775. However, by 1778, the autonomy granted to the colonies had become insufficient.
