Answer:

Watergate caused many Americans to become distrustful of government leaders and politicians.

Explanation:

Richard Nixon had campaigned on a slogan of "Bring us together" and many Americans had great hope of that, especially after the racial turmoil and assignations that had rocked the nation in the years leading up to his election. As the story came out about the break-in to an office used by the Democratic Party an the Watergate Hotel by operatives attempting to gain secret information to be used for the Nixon campaign-- and the attempts by government officials and President Nixon to cover up and destroy the evidence, it cast doubt upon the integrity of those we trusted to lead our nation, and the entire political process.

The controversy over Missouri's request for statehood: did not affect the balance of power in Congress was settled by the Missou

Minchanka [31]

First off, the controversy of this had led to an imbalance in congress among the number of free states and slave states. So this rules out our first option. Due to it not being all of the above, that's our fourth answer ruled out as well. The Webster speech did not happen for 10 more years so it is very unlikely that this is what led to that speech. Even without the process of elimination, it would be B because the Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state in order to preserve the balance of power in congress. Also, Henry Clay (the Great Compromiser) drafted this.
