For the united states, there were accualy two red scares, one in the 1917-1920 and the second was from 1947-1957. During both U.S. citizens were commonly accused of being communist, During the second red scare the smith act was passed through congress -Smith Act-making it a crime to "knowingly or willfully advocate, abet, advise or teach the duty, necessity, desirability or propriety of overthrowing the Government of the United States or of any State by force or violence, or for anyone to organize any association which teaches, advises or encourages such an overthrow, or for anyone to become a member of or to affiliate with any such association. Also during the red scare,many people were afraid of neuclear attack and the government sent out videos telling everyone to "duck in cover" in case of a neuclear attack.
1. The red scare was our fear of the spread of communism. This scare caused a witch hunt to get rid of communist in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Anybody that was accused of being associated with communist was put on trial and convicted. Movie producers, lawyers, judges, etc. lost their freedom and careers due to this witch hunt. The red scare was a contributing factor in the war in Vietnam. We were "afraid" that the communist North would overtake the democratic south. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial reflected our fears of immigration, immigrant crime, and anarchy. There was also an anti-Italian sentiment in the trail and conviction felt by many Americans throughout the country because of organized crime. The rise of the Ku Klux Klan reflected white America's fear that minority groups would eventually take over America. This fear was born from the rise in population of immigrants and American blacks, coupled with the change in America politics to give these minority groups equal rights and jobs.
No it was not a supreme court case, but a state case because it was held in the local court
The case must be unique and important in order for the Supreme Court to accept the case. The case can also be accepted if it is to resolve a conflict of law.
SInce you don't tell me what method of handling rights you wish me to compare handling them on a case by case basis to, I cannot tell you what makes it different from any other method. What I can note is that handling rights on a case by case basis means handling each case alone, on its own merits.
