US vs. Nixon was the Supreme Court case that was focused around whether or not Nixon would be forced to release tape recordings and other evidence to federal courts.
In a unanimous decision, the court ruled he must disclose these documents. Essentially, this court ruled that just like other citizens, Nixon is not above the law. When any individual is subpoena for records they must provide them, including the president.
I believe the answer is it committed the colonies to being independent.
This was the more radical position of the American settlers and Tejanos in Texas. Houston was selected as Commander-in-Chief at the convention to declare Texan independence in March 1836, and he signed the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836, his 43rd birthday.
Ralph Abernathy was a close friend of martin luther king. he took over the southern christian leadership conference after king's death.
