Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. The primary source which is a telegram from Senator Joseph McCarthy to President Henry S. Truman was meant to raise suspicions of personnel's within the United States government whom he referred to as Communists. This happened at a time when the citizens of the United States were apprehensive about communists because of possible links to the Soviet Union.

2. The author intended that the President take his claims seriously by fishing out the names of those within the State Department whom he claimed were communists, prosecuting them, and possibly relieve them of their services.

3. The Senator was trying to be controversial. He wanted to gain cheap political points and also curry favor with the people so that he can be seen as a Senator that worked hard to prevent threats to the American nation. Then, he would be re-elected by the people in his second term.

4. This telegram helps us to see how certain political leaders can promote policies for their selfish interests and not necessarily for the people. It also shows how tense the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was after World War II.

How did the Supreme Court's decision in Schenck v. United States affect free speech?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer is <span>C. It limited it by saying that opposition to the draft was a danger to the country during wartime.

People who were against world war 1 didn't want others to participate and die in the war so they gave out fliers urging people to not enlist. The supreme court decided that this was not according to the first amendment and wasn't allowed because the country was in a war state and there was a present danger, so they banned it.</span>

What was the biggest challenge faced by George Washington when he agreed to lead the Continental Army?
artcher [175]

On this day in 1775, George Washington, who would one day become the first American president, accepts an assignment to lead the Continental Army.

Washington had been managing his family’s plantation and serving in the Virginia House of Burgesses when the second Continental Congress unanimously voted to have him lead the revolutionary army. He had earlier distinguished himself, in the eyes of his contemporaries, as a commander for the British army in the French and Indian War of 1754.

Born a British citizen and a former Redcoat, Washington had, by the 1770s, joined the growing ranks of colonists who were dismayed by what they considered to be Britain’s exploitative policies in North America. In 1774, Washington joined the Continental Congress as a delegate from Virginia. The next year, the Congress offered Washington the role of commander in chief of the Continental Army.

After accepting the position, Washington sat down and wrote a letter to his wife, Martha, in which he revealed his concerns about his new role. He admitted to his “dear Patcy” that he had not sought the post but felt “it was utterly out of my power to refuse this appointment without exposing my Character to such censures as would have reflected dishonour upon myself, and given pain to my friends.” He expressed uneasiness at leaving her alone, told her he had updated his will and hoped that he would be home by the fall. He closed the letter with a postscript, saying he had found some of “the prettiest muslin” but did not indicate whether it was intended for her or for himself.

On July 3, 1775, Washington officially took command of the poorly trained and under-supplied Continental Army. After six years of struggle and despite frequent setbacks, Washington managed to lead the army to key victories and Great Britain eventually surrendered in 1781. Due largely to his military fame and humble personality, Americans overwhelmingly elected Washington their first president in 1789.
