The scandal of Watergate is probably one of the biggest cases of political corruption and abuse of power by a leader in the United States, and certainly one of the best known in the world. Initiated in the 1970´s, and after the discovery of all that encompassed this scandal, Watergate brought the end of President Richard Nixon´s political career and he avoided jail time merely because he was pardoned by the later elected President Gerald Ford.
1. Watergate, in essence was the result of the discovery of the fraudulent actions taken by President Nixon and his re-election campaign managers by wiretapping leaders and members of the opposing Democratic Party and also the discovery of the way that Nixon used his powers, especially with the FBI and other agencies to cover the actions. The answer, then to the first question is A: The cover-up involved criminal activities and obstruction of justice by the president of the United States.
2. The lasting effects of Watergate are many and they range from political to social effects. In the political and legal arena, it forced Congress to take measures to ensure something like this never happened again and passed several Acts to prevent it, like the Freedom of Information Act.
