3 0

The highest elected political office within the Roman Republic was the consul. The consul was the official who had the most judicial influence in the Roman Republic and commanded the military. Every year, citizens would elect two different consuls to oversee the Republic who served a one-year term and each commanded two legions which equated to roughly 3,000 men in each legion. After the establishment of the Roman Empire, the consuls lost most power and were used as symbolic figures to display the heritage and culture of Rome.

Were americans correct in worrying that domestic communists endangered their security?

Sveta_85 [38]

Personally I don't believe that the domestic communists in the US endangered the security of the ordinary Americans. I believe that Senator Joe McCarthy went on a witch hunt because of the concerns of the large corporations and them worrying about their security, not of the average American. In fact, true communists or socialists only want better working and living conditions for the downtrodden in this case of the US citizens so far from being a threat to their security they are fighting for increased security for those people. An international example is the country of Viet Nam which is a communist or socialist government but which threatens no one and is a peaceful, successful country as opposed to the hysteria of the 1960's and 1970's about the communists of North Vietnam.
