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.

vaieri [72.5K]

1) Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence- This formal document drafted by Jefferson and others (like Ben Franklin, John Adams) was America's official breakup with the British Empire. This document included a list of rights that citizens should have as well as grievances they had against the British government. After this document was ratified, America would no longer be under the control of Britian. This had a tremendous impact on the Revolutionary War, as America had been tied to England (politically, socially, economically) for over 150 years.

2) Thomas Paine's Common Sense- This pamphlet developed by Thomas Paine discussed numerous reasons as to why America should break up with Britain. Some of his most important ideas include the fact that Britain is thousands of miles away from America and do not fully understand American society. Along with this, Paine thinks that America would have more financial success without being forced to trade with Britain. This had an enormous impact on the Revolutionary War, as it caused citizens to critically examine their relationship with Britain. At this point in time, very few citizens have examined this relationship in depth like Paine did.

Describe Native American Society on the eve of British colonization.
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: In Renaissance times, Europeans were not the only ones accomplishing great things. No one can deny the beauty of Michelangelo’s brushwork or the brilliance of Shakespeare’s verse. But societies elsewhere also flourished. As the modern world turned 1600, it seems as though each corner of the globe had its own “renaissance.” The Native American societies of North America were no different. They had diverse cultures and languages, much like Europe.
