Most of the powers of government were given to the legislatures; the new state governors, for the most part, had little real aut

hority. In every state except Massachusetts and New York, the governor was chosen by the legislature, and in most of them only for a one-year term. And only in three states did the governor have a veto power.
How does this compare to the status that governors hold today?

A. Most state governments still give the majority of power to the legislature and limit the power of governors.
B. Modern governors have much more authority than what the excerpt describes, including the veto power over legislation.
C. Today, governors have more power than they once had, but they are still limited to one-year terms in most states.
D. Contemporary governors have less power than early state governors but still play an important role

The second alternative is correct (B).

Governors are elected for four-year terms, such as the president, and have the power to govern states in an executive way. Each state has its constituted rules, but governors usually have the power to veto laws that they see as inconvenient.

In short, today's governors have far more power than the first governors of US history.

What impact, if any, did Senator Joseph McCarthy have on the exercise of free speech?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Joseph McCarthy called free speech into question on multiple occasions. Namely, with his push to create the House Committee on Un-American Activities(HUAC). The HUAC was created to investigate organizations or even individuals suspected of having communist ties. This was in light of the second Red Scare, when communism was a big fear among the American people. Because of this, free speech, at least in the case of communism, was somewhat dismissed. Joseph McCarthy only added fuel to the fire with his fear mongering.
