Those who refused to answer questions could have several things happen to them. For one, they could held in contempt, for which there were legal penalties. For another, they could be blacklisted by their profession. There were ten Hollywood writers and directors who refused to answer the House Un-American Activities Committee's questions; the "Hollywood Ten" believed it was unconstitutional for the committee to ask them about their political beliefs.
