What was the larger threat behind allowing McCarthyism to spread?

The larger threat behind allowing McCarthyism to spread was the erosion of civil liberties and the stifling of dissenting voices in American society. The fear-driven witch hunts led to widespread paranoia, resulting in the unjust persecution of individuals based on unfounded accusations of communism. This environment not only damaged reputations and careers but also undermined the foundational democratic principles of free speech and due process. Ultimately, McCarthyism fostered an atmosphere of fear that could be exploited to suppress political opposition and manipulate public opinion.

What does 'justice delayed is justice denied' mean?

Justice is something meant to be handled at the present moment. This is so because, like Martin Luther King said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Therefore if someone delays something as important as justice knowing that injustice is a threat to it, then the person is denying justice. If it was important to the person, then they would've handled the situation right then, but since they delayed it, that means it's not an important issue to them.

Why did antifederalist believe the constitution was a threat to liberty?

They believed this because it had enumerated their rights, and they believed that any rights not stated in the constitution would not be given to them. Believing this, they did not want anything telling them would they could or could not do, so this is why they thought this was a threat to liberty.
