The biggest difference between the Watergate Scandal and the Iran-Contra Affair is that the Watergate scandal was an internal politics problem, while the Iran-Contra Affair was a foreign politics problem.  Both scandals were exposed by the media.

In the Watergate scandal, president Nixon was directly  involved and exposed by the media as head of a group perpetrating illegal activities while it was never proved that President Reagan was directly related with the illegal aid to Contras and Iranian terrorist groups. So President Nixon was directly involved in the scandal.  

The Watergate scandal was worse in my opinion because it is more famous and it was the only presidential impeachment in U.S. history, and that undermined the public image of american democracy.

How does this cartoon demonstrate the original
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The correct answer must be A)

Explanation:

The fourteenth amendment was adopted in 1868, after the end of the civil war. Amendment 13 abolished slavery in 1865, while Amendment 14 resolved the citizenship issue of former freed slaves born in the United States.

Previous Supreme Court decisions, such as the "Dred Scott v. Sandford" case in 1857, determined that African Americans could never be U.S. citizens. The 14th Amendment invalidated that argument.
