Answer:

Joseph McCarthy had a negative impact on American societ-y in that he compelled the American public to enter a state of anti-communist hysteria so severe that innocent people were maligned, ostracized, blacklisted and in some cases, imprisoned. According to the Reference Dictionary, McCarthyism is defined as "the political practice of publicizing accusations of disloyalty or subversion with insufficient regard to evidence." Joseph McCarthy, a senator from Wisconsin, rose to prominence as a member of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. He accused thousands of American citizens of being communists or communist sympathizers. Prominent among the accused were many Hollywood celebrities, government employees, union activists and educators. Suspicion was often regarded as proof, and witnesses were threatened into revealing lists of supposed communist sympathizers to protect themselves. Many of the accused were publicly disgraced and lost their jobs. McCarthy used television to make many of the hearings public.

McCarthy's downfall came in 1954 during the Army-McCarthy hearings, which were broadcast live on television. He began to attack and insult decorated members of the armed forces, causing President Eisenhower and the U.S. Senate to censure him on 46 charges of abusing his legislative powers. In 1957, McCarthy died of complications brought on by severe alcoholism.

Answer:

Taxing without representation

Explanation:

Taxing without representation without representation is one of the biggest reasons leading up to the American revolution.

At that time , the British government imposed a really high tax rate for American colonies in order to pay for it war debt. But, they did not give the colonies with any seats within the government.  This made the American colonies  have no legal measures that they can pursue to negotiate for their behalf within the government.

Thomas Jefferson was one of the figure that popularized this British Government's flaw. He stated in his writings that the only way for the colonists to erase this unfair taxation is through military's revolution.

Paul [167]
The history of Halloween - how it all started.Halloween began as the festival of Samhain. It was part of the ancient Celtic religion in Britain and other parts of Europe. At the end of summer, the Celts thought the barrier between our world and the world of ghosts and spirits got really thin.
According to google :/

It comes from witchcraft basically, even though it is not the so called correct answer. The most grand practice of witchcraft happens on halloween and it is a day to place generations of curses on people who celebrate it.
