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.

"There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the meer pleasure of God. By the mere Pleasure of God
Anika [276]

Answer:

D) Warn or remind his congregation that the nation as a whole must repent their sins and ask forgiveness from God to escape hell.

Explanation:

Christian Theologian Jonathan Edwards’ sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" presents an appeal to the people of Massachusetts to deviate from their sinful nature and come back to the right and "Christian" way of life. This sermon successfully and profoundly affected the listeners, the congregation with Edwards's 'frightful' presentation of an angry God.

In the given excerpt from the sermon, Edwards presents an image of a God who is fearful of those who choose to deviate from His right ways. In this sermon, Edwards serves a reminder to the people to <u>repent their sinful ways and return to God</u>, or else their fate is to be destroyed and perish eternally in Hell. He warns them to <u>seek forgiveness</u> while there is still time so that they will not be judged by God's wrath.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is option D.</u>
