Answer:
Freedom of the Press
Explanation:
The US government had been lying to the American people about the Vietnam War - how many soldiers were killed, the strength of the opposing army, our involvemnet in the death of one of South Vietnam's leaders, and some other things.
Maybe the biggest lie was that our leaders, including President Lyndon Johnson, admitted we could probably not win in Vietnam unless we got so aggressive we might start an even bigger war, involving more countries, yet the President and other leaders kept telling the American people that victory could be had if we just kept sending troops.
Also, the US government wanted to get out of the war but were afraid of looking weak. So they kept sending soldiers to die in a war they did not expect to ever win, just to avoid saying they'd made a mistake.
All this information was contained in a report the government commissioned a civilain research company to do. They did the research at the US government's request but the government kept it secret. It was classified, and that meant it was a crime to tell the public about the report or what was in it.
A man named Daniel Ellsberg worked at the research company that did the report. He leaked the information to the press. The New York Times and the Washington Post published parts of the report, and the government threatened to lock them up for revealing government secrets.
The case went to the US Supreme Court. In 1971, in a 6-3 decision, the Court sided with the newspapers. The Court said it could not be allowed that the government could lie to the people and then hide the lie by locking up reporters for telling the truth. (Apparently, the other 3 Justices thought what the government was doing was okay. Conservative judges more frequently side with the government over the Bill of Rights.)
I remember all this because I was 14 years old when it happened, a long time ago. I was born in 1957.
i will give 5 stars, brainliest and thank you.If the judicial branch wasn't impartial, what threat or problems might that pose for our country?

Why did the value of paper money fall? I
Answer:
· This is why we are all suc.kered into using an unstable, unpredictable, constantly depreciating currency as money. This is also why the official currencies of many 3 rd world countries and failed states are abandoned for US $ or barter: the currency’s value has usually been inflated away through money printing, and a failed state isn’t very good at collecting taxes.

Answer and Explanation:
To register to vote you must go to the electoral registry office. Upon arriving at the site it is necessary to fill out a form that makes the registration request, where all the citizen's data must be presented. After filling out the form, the citizen must hand it over to the clerk of the electoral registry office, who will analyze whether all the fields on the form have been filled out correctly.

1. Identify domestic events that prompted civil liberties such as the Red Scare, Palmer Raids, Fundamentalism, Marcus Garvey Back to Africa Movement, and the KKK to those attacks.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
This question is missing something important. The part that is missing I am going to include it in capital letters.
Identify domestic events that prompted ATTACKS ON civil liberties such as the Red Scare, Palmer Raids, Fundamentalism, Marcus Garvey Back to Africa Movement, and the KKK to those attacks.
Once clarified this issue, we can say the following.
I am going to choose the case of the Red Scare and the Palm Raids. The domestic events that prompted attacks on civil liberties in the United States in the times of the First Red Scare were the following.
The country lived in uncertain years in which the threat of the spread of Communism and Anarchism really affected the federal government and scare the American society because the government released propaganda campaigns saying that Communism was the worst thing that could ever happen in the United States.
Anyone could accuse you of being Communists or anarchists, and that was enough to be persecuted by the Police.
The Palmer raids started in November 1919 and ended in January 1920. President Woodrow Wilson had ordered to cease civil liberties to people accused of being communist or anarchists. So the Department of Justice arrested many people under the suspect of being those things. Many European immigrants, basically Italian, were arrested just under suspect, not because there was evidence of their conduct.
These were the times of the First Red Scare.

Why was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand an important cause in World War I
Answer:
Image result for Why was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand an important cause in World War I
The murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand outraged Austria-Hungary. ... Austria-Hungary was furious and, with Germany's support, declared war on Serbia on July 28.
Here I guess, have a nice day bud, BYE :D
Serbian hatred of Austria resulted in the formation of many secret anti-Austrian societies in Serbia. On June 28, 1914, a member of a Serbian secret party shot and killed Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, along with his wife. Infuriated by the action, Austria determined to punish the Serbs. Within just a few weeks, the countries of Europe were preparing for war, even though no one believed that war would come. Leaders of most nations still made their travels, visited one another, and planned for state visits to each other's countries.
