Answer:

Explanation:

The 1950s were an era of dull conformity. Lots happened but survival depended on doing what the crowd did in the 50s. McCarthy extended it one step further. He saw communist spies everywhere and was determined to root them out no matter what the cost.

Civil Rights, (the first 10 amendments of the constitution) were bashed like a rag doll being swung against a stone wall -- especially the 1st and 4th ones. The only defense was the 5th. Many people used it which only made McCarthy angrier. McCarthy took no prisoners and the more famous the person, the more his background was scrutinized.

Skip forward to today. I think if you look at the immigration policy applied to the US southern border you will see similarities. These people have often put their life savings on the line to get from Mexico to the US either legally or illegally. Vetting really shouldn't be as big a problem as it is turning out to be.

What are some of the benefits of the articles of confederation
taurus [48]

The major downfall of the Articles of Confederation was simply weakness. The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts.

Hope this helps!

What did President Gerald Ford do that was so controversial early in his administration?
exis [7]

The answer is <u>he pardoned the former American President Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed in office.</u>

In 1972, President Richard Nixon was accused of being involved in the Water Scandal and was in trouble with American justice. Two years later, he decided to resign and Gerald Ford automatically assumed the presidency. Ford immediately used his power to issue the <em>Proclamation 4311</em> and pardon Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while President. He justified his decision before Congress alleging that the pardon was in the best interests of the country because a drawn-out trial would only polarize the public even more.

This decision of him was highly controversial and harshly criticized by many Americans that wanted to see Nixon brought to justice.
