Question

Why did the effort to identify communists within the united states become divisive? the role and methods of those conducting investigations were challenged as unconstitutional. the investigations took time away from more pressing domestic issues of concern. people who stood accused as traitors claimed they were tortured into confessing. prominent celebrities were accused, and the public refused to believe they were guilty?

Answer 1

The best choice is A

the role and methods of those conducting investigations were challenged as unconstitutional
it is not B because the Un american committee was not reported to torture anybody. A few celebrities were caught up in the investigations but that was enough to shape public opinion against the investigations
