Women's Rights Answers

Moreover this, he deviates the public’s attention with a convoluted wordplay in order to blur the main issue by putting aside the legal aspects against him and focusing on morale, which is more bendable and corruptible in comparison, because unlike the law, morality can easily be reshaped to our convenience. Despite this, Nixon’s argument is fairly persuasive due to the contrasting nature of his rhetoric with habitual instances where political figures would rather not mention, let alone discuss their misdoing. Furthermore, the speech is very swaying of the audience’s opinion. As he first directly states “that it was wrong” to take the money, the audience’s willingness to listen increases because he seems to be having a moment of honesty and humility. However, a couple lines through he quickly flips the audience's perception of wrong to a conditioned “morally wrong” by expressing what he believes would make his actions inherently wrong, including whether the money had been intended toward his personal use. He then asserts that the money never “went to [him] for personal use” now neglecting what he had acknowledged explicitly in the beginning. It resulted to be convincing, as he had previously yielded an occasion of apparent honesty and self

My father strongly believed that indeed Richard Nixon did abuse his power as president and should have been accountable for all he did to his country. As my father said, “He assumed he could get away with it, maybe because he felt he was above the law, maybe because he would never get caught, but he defiantly went too far.” My father, even as an adolescent, knew that Nixon was a man who thought he had a higher authority than everyone else had, and could get away with whatever he wanted. This proved how untrustworthy Nixon was and displayed the abuse of power he got away with as

Women’s rights in America in late 1800’s women’s right to vote women in medicine and the equal rights for women are the 3 main points that were big in the 1800’s.

During the 1800’s and 1900’s women fought strongly with intelligence to gain their rights, freedom and high political positions. Women who supported traditional gender roles argued that politics were unacceptable for women and some even argued that voting might cause some women to grow beards.

Nixon faced impeachment because it was known as the Watergate. It first came to light following a break-in on the date of June 17th, 1972, at the Democratic Party’s national headquarters in Watergate hotel in Washington, D.C. A group of men broke in to the White House and were arrested and where charged. Nixon denied any involvement in the break-in, but some of his staff members implicated in an illegal cover up and then they resigned. In July 1973, one of Nixon’s former staff member had secretly taped conversations between the president and his aides. Nixon refused to release the tapes, but a judge later ordered the president to turn them in. In May 1974, the House Judiciary Committee began formal impeachment hearings against Nixon. On July 27th, the first article of impeachment against the president was passed. Two more articles, for abuse of power of Congress were approved on July 29 and 30. On August 5th, Nixon complied with a U.S. Supreme Court required the transcripts of the missing tapes, the new evidence clearly implicated him in a cover up of the Watergate break-in. Nixon announced his resignation on August 8th. Nixon succeeded by Vice President Gerald Ford on August 9th, who pardoned Nixon on September 8th, 1974, it was impossible for the former president to be prosecuted for any crimes he committed while in the office. I agree he was impeached because they think because they are the president, they can get away with

The White House rationalized any illegal actions by the Plumbers as protecting national security. However, the motivating factor for these illegal actions was actually to protect Nixon’s public image as well as his political survival.

1848 is thought to be the year the women's rights movement finally kicked off due to a conference held in New york. Before this women had to face many injustices these including the inability to vote, the right to take money from the bank and the right to run for public office these were only some of the hardships women had to face during this era in time. They weren't seen as able bodied human beings and were thought to be inferior to men hence is the reason women couldn't do anything on there own without a man. The years 1880 through 1890 was the turning point for the women's suffrage movement There was a surge of volunteerism among women. They started women's clubs, and professional societies. They also participated in local civic and charity

Richard Nixon, though created a large credibility gap within the US, he accomplished a lot for the country. He served five years in the presidential office as a republican (1969-1974), and he was the only president to resign from office in history. Although through his presidency he had accomplished many things, such as creating revenue sharing, ending the draft, and creating anticrime laws, he still had a rough time rebuilding his reputation after many assumptions of corruption in his office. Though he never admittedly pledged guilty to his crimes of taking government funds for his own personal gain, there was proof that he was. After the Watergate scandal, the American people set their mind to believe what the proof led to, so Nixon’s

To begin with, the system of checks and balances did not work well during the Watergate affair because the president was not sent to prison after trying to spy on the democratic party to find misleading information against them to win the reelection. This wasn’t the first time that his workers attempted to do this. On May, 11,1972 Nixon’s worker broke into the offices at Watergate, took photos of hidden documents and placed wiretaps on phones. They got away with it the first time but the next time

Watergate, the greatest scandal of the 20th century, remains a shrouded mystery. Early on the morning of June 17, 1972, there was a break-in and several burglars were arrested inside the office of the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in the Watergate Office complex building located in Washington, D.C. Thus began a series of events that would shake the public’s confidence in its most visible symbol of American authority and prestige: the presidency of Richard Nixon. A seemingly random robbery at a Washington, D.C. building leads to the first presidential resignation in American history. We will discuss the following events surrounding the Watergate break-in: when did the break-in occur, how was Nixon connected to the break-in. We will also discuss the events surrounding the discovery of the tapes, the issues involved in trying to get the tapes from President Nixon and what is the "18 1/2 minutes of silence". Finally, throughout this paper we will also include Archibald Cox the first Watergate special prosecutor.

“I am not a crook” is one of the most famous quotes from President Richard M. Nixon.  Citizens of the United States of America would hope that their president would never have to defend himself as a crook, but that is just what happened in the presidency of Richard M. Nixon. President Nixon had to defend himself for not being a crook because of the events famously known as the ‘Watergate Scandal’. In 1972, members of Nixon’s re-election committee broke into the Democratic National Committee’s Watergate offices and stole top-secret documents as well as trying to get into their phone system. They eventually were caught and so was President Nixon which led him to his resignation. Even though it was an unfortunate event, there have been positive outcomes because of it. The lasting implications of the Watergate Scandal have been generally positive on society because of the passing of Ethics in Government Act, amending the Freedom of Information Act and 42 states passing election reform laws.

Nixon. It was clearly a ‘painful decision’ for the Tribune's editors, most of whom know the president personally” (1974, May 14). This statement is based on the fact that the Chicago Tribune’s Editorial was calling for the president to leave the office due to the Watergate affair. What was also mentioned was the fact that most if not all of the editors knew the president personally, and it appears that they were all on board to quickly to impeach the president. Dean Burch goes on to report, mostly in Nixon’s defense, that the president faces many decisions every day that affect all the lives in America, and he made the correct decision to open a full investigation into the Watergate scandal. One key question is also brought up: “Did Richard Nixon do wrong?” (1974, May 14). From reading this article it appears that the writer was looking at what the president was thinking and doing as a whole, not just speculate and ridicule him on just one topic. The article also references that “Like all good presidents, he is not perfect” (1974, May 14), by that statement if is clear that there were many other aspects of the situation that was not being recognized by the Chicago Tribune.

In the first article that I read, written by D Burch from the Harvard Crimson web site, it obvious that their stance on Nixon and Watergate were that of defense; defending Nixon’s actions. It is obvious to me that they were in support of his choices and condoned most of his actions. They did report that the editorial staff called for his impeachment but it was reluctant at best. Basically they said that his office of President was hard and that he had done many a great thing prior to this scandal including honorably ending US involvement in war, bringing home our warriors and POW’s from Southeast Asia, establishing a new candor in relations with the Soviet Union, among others (Burch, 1974). The second article on the other hand was more of
