This 19th century cartoon shows how Standard Oil Company has significant control over the American government and American society in general. If you look at the cartoon, you can see that the arms extending from the Standard Oil Company base have control over several different parts of American society.

Specifically, you can see at the top right hand corner that this hand extends to US Congress. The building at the top right hand corner shows what the US Capital looks like.

Niccolo machiavelli in the prince and thomas hobbes in leviathan both advocated that a ruler should

Maurinko [17]

The correct answer is <span>B. Employ absolute power to maintain order in the areas under their rule.
Machiaveli's idea about ruling was that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Thus a ruler, a king, emperor, or whoever was in charge of a country, had to have absolute power over everyone and instill fear in his or her subjects so that they cannot even think about rebelling. </span>

Describe how America tried to deal with the 2nd Red Scare and describe the rise and fall of Joseph McCarthy.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

American society faced many hardships when political opponents were turned anti-nationalist using the communist tag during the Cold war era.

Explanation:

The second Red Scare refers to the period in the history of the United States when fear of communism had penetrated the society during the early periods of the Cold War. House Un-American Activities Committee, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, and McCarthy's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations were key congressional investigative committees. Those committee leaders and their employees collaborated with the FBI to recognize and prosecute suspected communists.

McCarthy was a young Wisconsin senator who stunned the nation in 1950 when he alleged to have information that large numbers of communists managed to hold prominent positions in the State Department. He and other Republicans would use these arguments for the next two years to pressure out the Truman administration, and the anti-communist agenda played a key factor for their landslide win in the 1952 election. However, no evident proof soon made him a liability for his party, and his influence started to fade away.
