The correct answer is "C: All American citizens should be aware of corruption".

The Watergate scandal occurred when it was revealed that President Richard Nixon was making use of unethical practice such as wiretapping political opponents and making use of intelligence agencies such as the FBI in order to gain political advantage over his opponents. However, there was a leak to the press which would later publish the information and expose these activities to the public. President Nixon eventually resigned from office due to this event.

Yes, this is actually a good statement for all scientist and expanding farther beyond that. Science is expanding today and growing richer in content but the past discoveries and founders in science are the foundation which science will always stand on. Without the basic laws or basic facts of Science, the complicated or farther extended information will not be valuable.

What were the two primary reasons for Polk wanting the land for the United States?

Sliva [168]

Answer:

While the public's fear of foreign involvements in continental North America may have concurred with Polk's agenda, the war he fought against Mexico that began in May 1846 and concluded in February 1848 sparked widespread criticism throughout political, journalistic, and literary circles in addition to strong support. Following the annexation of Texas, the Mexican government had severed diplomatic relations with the U.S. Polk subsequently sent an envoy, former Louisiana congressman John Slidell, to Mexico to try to resolve disputes over the Texas boundary and over damages that the Mexican government owed to U.S. citizens but could not pay. Polk instructed Slidell to make an offer that the U.S. would pay off Mexico's debt in order to acquire "Upper California and New Mexico" and would spend as much as $40 million to purchase the land.
