Question

During times of war, civil liberties in the United States have often been restricted because

1) the majority of Americans opposed the war effort

2)martial law was usually adopted

3)national security received greater priority

or

4)enemy spies encouraged antiwar protests

Answer 1

None of the above.

And "have often" is not correct.

Answer 2

you would not receive any answer other that those? No, you are not really looking for the real answer. First, America is such that she contains a large number of folks from every nation and there will always be a certain number that retain their home country's patriotism and they have to be observed closely.. Second , there are Judases within our ranks who would have no trouble with killing 3000 Americans and doing billions of dollars of damage to pocket some change-- or just for the fun of it. Third , the enemy is always looking for a weakness. If he believes we will quit after he terrorizes us enough, then he will do what it takes... Terrorists only have to be right once-- we have to be right all the time to prevent them and that may appear to you to be restricting civil liberties especially if you are a criminal or one of the America haters that we are watching--- Are you?

Answer 3

3. national security received greater priority during WWII.

The majority of Americans did not oppose WWII. There were not anti war protests and no martial law.

Answer 4

None of those reasons. The reason is that American are a paranoid people with little understanding of other cultures (i.e. the Japanese during WW-2 and the ideas of the Japanese-Americans).

Answer 5

Officially it would be no.3. They'd do it to keep an eye on the enemy, and to scare people who may wish to follow the enemy.
