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.

Answer:

oh okay???

Explanation:

if I was able to take over the moon...I would make it so humans can safely go on the moon and case the world is about to explode or a big huge asteroid hits Earth or something like that. and or I would probably do nothing with it. because to be honest I care about our world and I would do everything I can to protect it and ones outside of Earth. because space is a scary place. that can destroy Earth in a Split Second. so basically what I'm saying is if I was able to take over the moon out just protect it. :)
