HUAC refers to " <span>House Un-american Activities Committee".
In the 1940's and the 1950's, this committee was set to find people who worked as spies for the Russians. This was a difficult task and a difficult time because back in World War II, Russia was an ally to the states, however, at the time, it became an enemy.
Russia stated that the land of Communist a peaceful place where all people lived in harmony. This sounded so beautiful as it was what the Americans dreamed of. The Americans were taken with these statements and never considered the possibility that the Russians were hurting America and the Americans were taking part in this by agreeing to their policy. </span><span>They thought that they were advancing a Utopian world.
</span><span>However, history showed them that they were wrong as this committee held hearings.
Later on, Richard Nixon used his frame from this committee to become president.

<u>This portion of the text shows Hobbes supported an absolute ruler:</u>
- <em>Men are continually in competition for honour and dignity . . . and consequently amongst men there ariseth on that ground, envy, and hatred, and finally war. ... No wonder if there be somewhat else required, besides [contract], to make their agreement constant and lasting; which is a common power to keep them in awe and to direct their actions to the common benefit.
</em>
- <em>
The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend them from the invasion of foreigners, and the injuries of one another . . . is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men, that may reduce all their wills, by plurality of voices, unto one will.</em>
Further detail:
Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called Leviathan in 1651. The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society. In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast). Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests. So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen. And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.
The answer would be A. The land was divided into smaller plots with housing for sharecroppers because after the war slavery was outlawed so former slaves only knew how to farm and in order to get income they went back to plantations as sharecroppers.
Sharecroppers were people who rented out housing and tools with a share of their crops in order to live.
