Some of the pros to pardoning Nixon that President Ford would have considered included:

  • It would allow the nation to heal and move on.
  • It would allow the nation to focus on current issues.
  • It would heal the rift that had formed between Nixon supporters and dissidents.

Some cons to pardoning Nixon:

  • It would portray an image of Presidents being above the law.
  • It would decrease the popularity of President Ford.

<h3>Why did Ford pardon Nixon?</h3>

Ford felt that the nation's attention was too much on the Watergate issue when other matters needed attention. He also felt the issue was dividing the nation.

When he pardoned Nixon, a lot of people were outraged as they felt that Nixon had escaped justice. This led to a loss of popularity for Ford.

Which issue was at the heart of one of the compromises made between northern and southern states during the Constitutional Conve
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Counting slaves in the population.

Explanation:

The weakness of the national government to not able tax, could not implement the laws it passed, and could not control trade lead to the revision of Article of Confederation. Such and other shortcomings, along with a rise in national opinion, led to the Constitutional Convention, which convened from May to September 1787. Representatives from southern states wanted slaves to be counted in terms of representation, however, northern states felt that slaves ought not to be counted towards representation because counting them would provide more representatives for the South. The negotiation between the two sides came to be known as the compromise of three-fifths because in terms of representation every five slaves would be counted as three individuals.
