There was a lack of confidence which in the government during the Watergate scandal (American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, 2016). Americans look to the government for guidance and when there is corruption this negatively impacts the perception of society (American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, 2016).
