History

Answer:  They wanted to obtain information that they could use to defeat the Democratic candidate in the 1972 presidential election.  The CRP (also sometimes known as CREEP) was the "Committee to Re-Elect the President," in support of incumbent president Richard Nixon.

Further background/context:

The first break-in by burglars associated with the Committee to Re-Elect the President (Nixon) was in May, 1972.  The "Plumbers" group (as they were known), broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

The formation of the "Plumbers" actually preceded Watergate.  They were a "special investigations" unit that the Nixon White House had set up in 1971 to stop the leaking of classified information.  Members of this group were those then later involved in the Watergate break-in (among other activities).

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.

In order to gain more information, the CRP ordered a burglary into the headquarters of the Democratic national committee. They wanted to gain an advantage in the upcoming elections of the state. This was followed by the Watergate scandal, in which President Nixon's administration tried to cover up their involvement in this break-out. All of this happened in 1970. A constitutional crisis occurred when the scandal was investigated by the Congress and in which there was resistance from Nixon's administration.

What was an immediate and a long-term effect of the assassination of President Lincoln?
Gnom [1K]

The immediate effect was an outpouring of grief and indignation of a kind rarely if ever experienced in the United States. The emotional impact of the crime was heightened by the fact that it occurred almost immediately after the Civil War had ended. The long-term effect was that the goal of the country's well-being changed. Lincoln's plan was simply to reunite the country not really focused on slaves. Without him, the plan shifted a bit. Hope this helped :))

The Pendleton Act tried to stop patronage. What other piece of legislation tried to eliminate Patronage?
spayn [35]

Apart from the Pendleton Act, another act that tried to get rid of Patronage was the D. Civil Service Act.

<h3>What was the purpose of the Pendleton Act?</h3>

Before the Pendleton Act was passed, the federal civil service operated on a patronage system where people would be hired based on supporting elected officials during campaigns.

This came to an end with the Pendleton Act and the Civil Service Act which called for employment based on merit.

How much power do the states have in a confederate system of government?
ella [17]

Answer:

In a confederate system of government, the majority of political power is based on the local government, while the central government has very little power. Local government has the power to act as they wish, which can cause conflicts between states and the central government.

The Confederation represents an alliance between states, reinforced by a common ruling body that has no higher central authority that would give the Confederacy a mark of sovereignty. The Confederation does not have any of the three state governments (legislative, executive, judicial).

Explanation:

The implementation of decisions is made unanimously (which carries a risk of inefficiency) and depends on the will of the member states because they implement decisions.

The Confederation, as a legal relationship between states, has neither a central authority, nor its territory, nor its population. The states sign an international treaty, not a constitution, so member states have both a veto right and a secession right. Therefore, the confederation cannot be even considered as a state, but rather an enhanced form of the alliance between states.
