The McCarran Act, officially known as the McCarran Internal Security Act of 1950, aimed to address national security concerns during the Cold War by requiring communist organizations to register with the U.S. government and providing for the detention of individuals deemed a threat to national security. It also allowed for the establishment of a loyalty review board to investigate the loyalty of federal employees. The Act was controversial for its implications on civil liberties and was viewed as a tool for suppressing dissent. It faced legal challenges and was criticized for infringing on First Amendment rights.
