Answer:

Richard Nixon

Explanation:

In 1948, Alger Hiss, secretary-general of the UN-founded Conference and President Roosevelt's government-wide collaborator, was accused of being a “Soviet spy”. In the House, Richard Nixon was the chief inquisitor and led the investigation into the case of Alger Hiss.

At this point, the fascist offensive of the financial monopolies to take back power, from which they had been displaced since Roosevelt's first election, has begun. Unable to condemn Hiss as a spy, they condemned him for denying that he was one. Two weeks later, McCarthy made his sadly famous speech about the list of "205 communists" in the US State Department.

What conflict did the Framers resolve by choosing a bicameral legislature?
Olin [163]

Answer:

A bicameral legislature resolved the tension between the states because they couldn't agree on the size of the Congress because of different states' sizes. The main conflicts were between large and small states.

Explanation:

The bicameral legislature helped to equilibrate representation in Congress. The Senate has two senators per state and the House of Representatives is composed of representatives proportional to states' populations.

The idea of a bicameral legislature also helped to carry forward the system of checks and balances between powers. A unilateral legislature would create a potential for power concentration.
