Check Explanation

Explanation:

September 8, 1974, president of the United States of America, Gerald Ford pardon Richard Nixon, his predecessor who was the former president of the United States of America.

Richard Nixon who was involved in the Watergate scandal, which lead to his resignation, receive pardon from the Ford Administration. Nixon during his administration has tried to steal information from the congress at Watergate concerning the Democratic party who were his opposition.

President Ford felt the pardon was in the best interests of the country and that if he did not pardon Nixon, a long, drawn-out trial against Nixon would only have further polarized the public.

Many believe Ford's decision lead to his failure to win the presidential election of 1976 to Jimmy Carter.
