US vs. Nixon was the Supreme Court case that was focused around whether or not Nixon would be forced to release tape recordings and other evidence to federal courts.
In a unanimous decision, the court ruled he must disclose these documents. Essentially, this court ruled that just like other citizens, Nixon is not above the law. When any individual is subpoena for records they must provide them, including the president.
Four main reasons why the U.S was unprepared for war with Britain were that 1) the Continental Army was wildly undertrained 2) the British Army had far more men 3) the Colonists lacked money for war supplies, and 4) the colonists lacked and meaningful military alliances.
