The answer would be A: many people were afraid to oppose McCarthy. Beginning in 1950 after giving a speech in which he purported to hold a list of Communist Party members employed by the State Department, McCarthy fueled a widespread fear of Communist infiltration in the US. People feared to oppose McCarthy because they feared he would subsequently accuse <em>them </em>of being a part of the Communist Party, thus he was able to continuously fling accusations about for four years. In 1954, the Senate finally censured Senator McCarthy after his claims were proven baseless.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

For the answer to the question above, li thinks it means that a republic is a government of laws, that have been going over and printed out and you cannot argue with it. but men can argue and fight and not makeup such a great republic. In many countries as politically polarized as our own, the resignation of its leader amid scandal after winning re-election by an electoral landslide might have triggered insurrection if not civil war, but the wise leaders whose collective genius framed our Constitution had anticipated even this unthinkable event. Nixon accepted the consequences of his actions with such grace as he could salvage, his vice-president took over the reins of government as provided for by law, and even those who might have been less than completely satisfied with this result accepted it and got on with the nation's business pretty much as they had done before.
