The correct answer is B) radicals .
The case of Sacco and Vanzetti was similar to that of the individuals arrested during the Palmer Raids of 1919-1920 in that both involved radicals.
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian-born American. They were anarchists convicted of murdering two people in 1920, during the robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company, in South Braintree, Massachusetts. In 1927, the Court ordered the execution of both men by the electric chair at Charlestown State Prison. The resolution created a big controversy.
During the trial, most of the arguments against them were disproven in court. But because of both men were considered “radicals”, this factor biased the jury against them. Those were moments where the Red Scare caused fear on people for the spreading of Communism. So that is why it created so much controversy. Their radical behavior and Communist ideas affected the resolution of the case and convicted them.
