Which amendment did the Hollywood 10 cite in their refusal to answer the whether they were or were not communists?
The Hollywood 10 cited the First Amendment in their refusal to answer whether they were or were not communists.

This refusal was part of their broader resistance against what they viewed as an infringement on civil liberties during the Red Scare. Their stance led to significant legal and professional repercussions in Hollywood.
Why Hollywood ten go to prison?
The Hollywood Ten were a group of screenwriters and directors who were cited for contempt of Congress in 1947 after refusing to answer questions about their political beliefs and alleged communist affiliations during a House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearing. They invoked the First Amendment, arguing that their right to free speech was being violated. As a result, they were found guilty and sentenced to prison terms ranging from six months to a year. Their case became a significant event in the larger context of the Red Scare and the Hollywood blacklist era.
Why were the Hollywood ten blacklist?
The so-called Hollywood Ten were movie industry professionals who were convicted of contempt of Congress after they refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Because they would not divulge names and information about Communists in the film studios, they were imprisoned for a year in 1950. Worse, they were placed on the "blacklist" of authors, actors, and directors and were refused work by the studio heads. This was an effort by Hollywood to placate lawmakers during the Red Scare, to avoid restrictive legislation and unfavorable publicity. Some managed to find work through sympathetic friends, but they could not be given official credit for their efforts. It was not until the late 1950's that the blacklist lost its hold as the "studio system" in Hollywood was phased out.
