AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.4
What similarity exists between McCarthy-era restrictions on freedom of assembly in response to fear of communism during the Cold War era, and post-9/11 limitations on freedoms due to national security concerns?
Post-9/11 limitations are far stricter than any laws enacted during the McCarthy era.
Only McCarthy-era restrictions targeted individuals based on political beliefs.
Both eras witnessed curtailments on civil liberties in times of perceived threat for national security reasons.
Both eras witnessed an increased federal budget allocation towards defense spending.
