Read the passage from a 1950 speech by Senator Margaret Chase Smith. I think that it is high time that we remembered that the Constitution . . . speaks not only of the freedom of speech but also of trial by jury instead of trial by accusation. Whether it be a criminal prosecution in court or a character prosecution in the Senate, there is little practical distinction when the life of a person has been ruined.

Based on this excerpt, what can you tell about Smith’s opinion of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his actions?

She did not support McCarthy’s actions and thought they were against the Constitution.
She supported McCarthy’s actions and thought they were appropriate during the Red Scare.
She supported McCarthy’s actions but thought the courts should rule on whether they were constitutional.
She did not support McCarthy’s actions overall but thought some were needed to protect the American people.
