On September 22, 1950 President Truman expressed in a letter to the house of representatives his concern that the McCarran Act is "a mockery of the bill of rights" as it would seriously damage the intelligence operations and security in which several departments such as CIA, Department of Defense, and Department of State are responsible.

Answer:

Internal Security Act, better known as the McCarran Act, was an act passed by Congress in September 1950, prohibiting the registration of communist organizations.

According to this law, people who supported communism could not work in factories whose production was considered important for the defense of the country. Supporters of communism, or those who belonged to organizations supporting communism, could not cross the US border.

It also stated that, in the event of a state of emergency, it was possible to establish concentration camps for communists.

President Harry Truman vetoed this bill on September 22, 1950. He sent a long message to the Congress in which he criticized several aspects of the bill, calling it "the greatest danger to freedom of expression, of the press and of assembly since the Alien and Sedition Laws of 1798", a "mockery of the Bill of Rights" and a "great step towards totalitarianism".

Why are so many Palestinians living outside the border of Israel?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Displaced

Explanation:

Approximately 750,000 Palestinians were displaced and became refugees as a result of the 1948 war which led to the founding of Israel. None of these displaced persons were ever allowed to return to the homes or communities from which they were displaced and the Palestinian refugee population has continued to grow in the time that has passed since 1948. Today there are more than 7 million Palestinian refugees scattered around the world. The reality of Palestinian forced displacement is at the core of the Palestinian experience and the Palestinian refugee issue is at the heart of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.  This paper provides background information on the history of the Palestinian refugee issue and the politics of the right of return.

The Old State House museum in Boston contains which of the following colonial era artifacts?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor. The event was the first major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists. It showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take taxation and tyranny sitting down, and rallied American patriots across the 13 colonies to fight for independence.

Why Did the Boston Tea Party Happen?

In the 1760s, Britain was deep in debt, so British Parliament imposed a series of taxes on American colonists to help pay those debts.

The Stamp Act of 1765 taxed colonists on virtually every piece of printed paper they used, from playing cards and business licenses to newspapers and legal documents. The Townshend Acts of 1767 went a step further, taxing essentials such as paint, paper, glass, lead and tea.

The British government felt the taxes were fair since much of its debt was earned fighting wars on the colonists’ behalf.  The colonists, however, disagreed. They were furious at being taxed without having any representation in Parliament, and felt it was wrong for Britain to impose taxes on them to gain revenue.
