Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The McCarran Internal Security Act, passed in 1950, required communist organizations to register with the government and submit to regular investigation. It did not outlaw all communist organizations or strip American citizenship from known communists as stated in choices A and D. While the Truman administration did not veto the bill, they did not strongly support it either. The creation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation occurred in 1908, long before the passage of this act.
