Some of the pros for pardoning Nixon by President Ford include:

  • It would put the Watergate Scandal to rest.
  • It would further expose to government to scrutiny which might lead to a loss of public trust.

Some of the cons for pardoning Nixon were:

  • It would be an unpopular move that would cost Ford support.
  • Nixon would have escaped justice.

<h3>What were pros and cons of pardoning Nixon?</h3>

If Nixon was pardoned, it would have the benefit of putting the Watergate Scandal to rest. This was important because the issue was polarizing the nation.

Taking a former president to trial would have also led to the people losing confidence in the position of the President which would have been very negative.

On the other hand, Nixon had committed a crime and should be punished like everyone else and pardoning him would mean he would escape this justice. Most people were also against a pardon at the time.

Explain the various ways the American Revolution affected society.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

It changed mostly politically.

Explanation:

Socially and economically speaking the Revolution did not have a major impact, indeed those who were part of the ruling classes remained in the upper classes. Slavery was not abolished after the Revolution, though in the North it was abolished shortly after the revolution.

Politically speaking it led to the creation of the Republic with its principles of liberty. The republic was inspired by the ideals of John Locke. The colonists were no longer the subjects of the British crown.
