Communist registration act
- Communist registration act
-
Communist registration acts were laws proposed and often enacted by the United States Congress and many American state legislatures during the Second Red Scare. These laws required members, sympathizers, and affiliated organizations of the Communist Party of the United States to register with the government, ostensibly for the purposes of public safety. Communist registration acts were ultimately made redundant with the Eisenhower's signing of the federal Communist Control Act of 1954, which outlawed the Communist Party altogether, and, incidentally, gave Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination to Communist Party members.
