The Cover-up
1. Regardless of the outcome, should the President of the United States have a right to privacy in regards to the Oval Office tapes? Explain.
Of course the President should have the right to privacy.
2. Was President Nixon justified when he fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox? Explain.
No it was not justified because he is taking out his competition its kind of like killing but instead firing.
3. Was Nixon creating a Constitutional crisis by refusing to hand-over the tapes? Explain.
No because he has the right to privacy and yes because he is not cooperating with the Senate and the tapes are part of a crime investigation.
Closure
4. Why do you think the American public was so outraged by Watergate?
Having the president, chief of staff, chief domestic advisor, attorney general, and the president of counsel committing crimes such as burglary and misdemeanors made the public people scared and angry because they cheated to win an election.
5. Do you think President Nixon should have resigned? Explain.
Yes because he took part in crime and did everything listed below.
6. Do you think President Nixon should have been prosecuted? Explain.
I think he should have been prosecuted because he was involved in the crime. He was involved in the WaterGate and he tried covering it up by using the CIA and he destroyed 18 1/2 minutes of the tape which is valuable evidence.

The U.S. struggles against the Communist in Vietnam
1a) Were the armies finely balanced or was the balance strongly weighted to one side or the other?
They were strongly weighted towards the U.S.
1b) Which quality was most important in determining who won the war? Was one feature so important that being ahead in that area meant that other advantages or disadvantages did not matter? Yes because having good effective war tactics and motivated men is all you need to win a war it is not the gun that makes a person scary it is the shooter.
