Answer 1

Q15. The primary effect of the War Power Act: It gave shared power between executive and legislative branches during times of war.The War Powers Act gave Congress (the legislative branch) power over whether to continue fighting a war. Passed in 1973 over the veto of President Richard Nixon, the War Powers Resolution (its official name) blocks presidents from continuing the pursuance of a war without Congress's approval.

Q16. An additional positive effect of the Watergate scandal was that it showed the effectiveness of democracy, particularly checks and balances. The threat of impeachment by Congress pressured the president into resigning, because he had abused the power of his office.

Q17. It seems to me that none of those choices really describe well the end of the Vietnam War, which actually came to an end after the US withdrew its forces from providing combat support for South Vietnam in 1973, and by 1975 Saigon fell and South Vietnam was defeated by the North Vietnamese.

Q18. Jimmy Carter was elected because of all of those reasons. The Watergate scandal had damaged the Republican Party's reputation and caused much skepticism of government. Carter was viewed as an outsider who was not part of those problems.

Q19. The Camp David Accords were a peace treaty reducing conflict where Israel withdrew from Sinai Peninsula and Egypt recognized Israel as a nation. Israel and Eqypt have remained at peace with one another since the accords were signed in 1978 by Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Menachem Begin of Israel.
