Many historians feel that Harry Truman as much as Joe McCarthy gave force to the postwar “Red scare.” Explain why you agree or d

Here is information that you could use to argue either side of this debate.

Agree
- One could argue that Harry Truman played a significant role in the Red Scare due to his speech to Congress regarding the Truman Doctrine. In this speech, he asks Congress to give financial assistance to countries like Greece and Turkey. He discusses how the fate of these countries, and other ones all over Europe, rest in the fate of the US. If the US does not help these countries, communism can take over. This could lead to repression and hard economic times for millions of people.

Disagree
- Even though he created the Truman Doctrine, Truman did not scare up nearly as much fear as Joe McCarthy. McCarthy accused hundreds of people of being communist, played a significant role in the growth of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and used fear tactics to scare individuals. Truman was not nearly as extreme in his fight against domestic communism.

2. Each member of the United Nations has one vote in the General Assembly. Do you think this is fair? Explain.
VashaNatasha [74]
As fairness is a subjective term, let's analyse this in terms of what countries are able to do in the situation. In the General Assembly every sovereign nation that joins is allowed to express its opinion and vote within this global body of governance. Some may argue that this gives too much power to tinier nation states. However, the General Assembly allows for these tinier nations to be heard on a global platform, while reigning in any truly disastrous schemes via the permanent bodies of the security council which hold veto powers over any errant decision.

The correct options are: "Motesquieu  - John Locke"

  • Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu was a French philosopher and jurist whose work develops in the context of the intellectual and cultural movement known as the Enlightenment. He was one of the most relevant illustrated philosophers and essayists, especially for the articulation of the theory of the separation of powers, which has been introduced in some constitutions of several States, with greater influence on the Constitution of the United States .
  • John Locke was an English philosopher and physician, considered one of the most influential thinkers of English empiricism and known as the "Father of Classical Liberalism." He was one of the first British empiricists. Influenced by the ideas of Francis Bacon, he made an important contribution to the theory of the social contract. His work greatly affected the development of epistemology and political philosophy. His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau, thinkers of the French Enlightenment, as well as American revolutionaries. His contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the Declaration of Independence of the United States.

Explanation

Portugal was the first to make a claim on Brazil with the agenda of exploring it economically.
