Watergate complex

“I was 22 years old when it happened, and when you’re 22 years old, politics don’t really mean a whole lot to you. I didn’t really understand what Watergate was about, I basically just knew that the Republicans broke into the Democratic National Headquarters during election time in 1972. I remember that when the hearings were going on that I was driving back from Florida and listening to the hearings on the radio, just trying to understand what I was even hearing. At the time of Nixon resigning,…

Eric Foner makes it well known that President Nixon did not get along with workers and some known reporters. In the section called, “Watergate” Eric Foner states, “He viewed every critic as a threat to national security and developed an enemies list, that included reporters.” When a President has foes and considers them enemies his job will become very hard and Americans can claim him as bias.

The Justice System of the United States was founded on more historical terms. The Watergate was something that should've been expected, especially when Nixon was known for erratic and sometimes paranoid behaviors; which was proven by his “Checkers” speech. The Watergate affair was referred to because of multiple 1972 break-ins and electronic buggings. Within Nixon's administration officials, financial contributors and campaign officers more than 30 either pleaded guilty or were found guilty for…

Although the United States was doing well and had just made it out of the unpopular Vietnam War, the nation almost impeached Richard Nixon for his unacceptable actions. After the Watergate Scandal, there have been many more outrages from other well-known politicians. The Nation has reached a point where it can no longer trust the past and present presidents because of their actions. During a warm, early morning on June…

leadership is modeled by those who live by proper application of Godliness and principles found in the Word of God, and being consistent with those principles that they teach” (M.Moore, et.

White House during Nixon’s presidency because he was involved in the Watergate scandal. I believe that President Nixon tried to use his executive power to get away with a crime. Even after he had resigned I still believe it was a bit suspicious that he didn’t get punished for anything he did. I feel President Nixon committed crimes when he engaged in a break in of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate building and tried to cover it up. He had tried to edit and…
