Question

NEEEDDDD HEEEELLLPPPP PPLLLZZZZ!!!!!!

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Joseph Raymond McCarthy (Grand Chute, Wisconsin, November 14, 1908 - May 2, 1957) was an American Republican senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 to 1957. During his ten years in the Senate, McCarthy and his team were made famous for their research on people in the government of the United States and others suspected of being Soviet agents or sympathizers of communism infiltrated in the public administration or the army.

In January of 1953 and thanks to the republican majority, he obtained the presidency of the Permanent Subcommittee of Investigations of the Senate, where the appearances of officials of the administration began. Although he did not participate in the work of the Anti-American Activities Committee, a body dependent on the House of Representatives and whose activity dates back to the late 1940s and early 50s, it was its organizer and main promoter. This "witch hunt" for ideological reasons was contrary to the Constitution of the United States.

Answer 2

The  correct answer is option C. The Senate committee that investigated Joseph McCarthy's original claim of communists in the government concluded that the charges were completely done without merit. Senator Joseph McCarthy was a republican member of the U.S Congress as a representative of the state of Wisconsin. He served from 1947 until his death in 1957. He is best known for being the leader of a hunt of "communists" infiltrated in the U.S government. In 1950 the senator stated that there were more than 200 members of the government that were, in fact, communists. In 1954 he accused the Army of the United States to be "soft" on communism, and he conducted hearings to prove this, that were broadcasted on television.  These hearings were a complete failure for the intents of McCarthy, and a lack of evidence ended up in no charges being made against any member of the Army. The Senator was also censured by the Congress for his actions, and started to lose all of his influence at Congress after this.
