The answer is <u>he pardoned the former American President Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed in office.</u>
In 1972, President Richard Nixon was accused of being involved in the Water Scandal and was in trouble with American justice. Two years later, he decided to resign and Gerald Ford automatically assumed the presidency. Ford immediately used his power to issue the <em>Proclamation 4311</em> and pardon Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while President. He justified his decision before Congress alleging that the pardon was in the best interests of the country because a drawn-out trial would only polarize the public even more.
This decision of him was highly controversial and harshly criticized by many Americans that wanted to see Nixon brought to justice.
One of the major controversies in developmental psychology centers if development is continuous or discontinuous. Those psychologists who support the continuous view of development suggest that development involves gradual and ongoing changes throughout the life span, with behavior in the earlier stages of development providing the basis of skills and abilities required for the next stages. Not all psychologists, however, agree that development is a continuous process. Some view development as a discontinuous process. They believe development involves distinct and separate stages with different kinds of behavior occurring in each stage. This suggests that the development of certain abilities in each stage, such as specific emotions or ways of thinking, have a definite starting and ending point. However, there is no exact time at which ability can appear or disappears. Although some types of thinking, feeling or behaving may seem to appear suddenly, it is more than likely that this has been developing gradually for some time. Stage theories of development rest on the assumption that development is a discontinuous process involving distinct stages which are characterized by qualitative differences in behavior. They also assume that the structure of the stages is not variable according to each individual, however the time of each stage may vary individually. Stage theories can be contrasted with continuous theories, which posit that development is an incremental process.
the answer is B by the way, good luck!
The Soviet Union by 1948 had installed communist-leaning governments in Eastern European countries that the USSR had liberated from Nazi control during the war. The Americans and British feared the spread of communism into Western Europe and worldwide.
Resources. Brazil is a very large country with many mineral resources. Among the important mineral resources are iron ore, manganese, gold, diamonds, and bauxite. Manganese is a metal similar to iron. Bauxite is the ore from which aluminum is made.
Brazil also raises many important farm products. More coffee is raised in Brazil than in any other country. This industry supplies many workers with jobs. Brazil also raises sugar cane, cacao, (from which comes cocoa and chocolate), cotton, rice, corn, potatoes, and wheat.
Animals of commercial value raised in Brazil include hogs, cattle, and sheep. Cattle are raised in the south and south-central states. Sheep are raised in the Sertão Region.
Brazil's numerous rivers and streams provide a home for fish and furnish water power to make electricity. They also form an important network of water transportation to carry goods from the interior to the coastal ports.
In recent years, persons and industries moved into South America's interior. They cut down trees and leveled some of the rain forests, especially near the Amazon. In 1992, Brazil held an "Earth Summit" to discuss ways to solve this problem. People from 176 countries were there.
