Question

Although some doubted Hiss's guilt at the time, it was later proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was guilty. Was Nixon a hero for exposing an American traitor or was he an illustration of American paranoia? Explain your reasoning. One sentence.

Answer 1

Nixon was an illustration of American paranoia, as his actions in the Hiss case were motivated more by political gain and suspicion than a true sense of patriotism.
