Answer:

The event that decreased the popularity of President Ford was that he pardoned President Nixon.

Explanation:

On August 9, 1974, after just nine months as vice president, Ford was named president of the United States after the resignation of then President Richard Nixon, as a result of the Watergate scandal. During his term, he tried to recover the nation's confidence in the government, which had been marred by the event. But one of his first and most controversial acts was to promulgate Nixon's pardon of all the federal crimes he had committed while in office. This pardon was signed by Ford 48 hours after assuming the Presidency. It was effective on September 8, 1974, through the Presidential Proclamation 4311, giving Nixon full and unconditional forgiveness for any crime he may have committed against the United States, while he was president. In a televised broadcast by national network Ford justified the Proclamation, qualifying this pardon as one of the best interests of the country.

The indult to Nixon generated strong controversies. Critics scoffed at the move, calling it "a corrupt bargain" that had been negotiated between the two, arguing in turn that the pardon was a token of gratitude on the part of Ford to Nixon, for having promoted him to the presidency through his resignation. As a result of this, the first Press Secretary of Ford and close friend Jerald Terhorst, resigned his position in protest.

The single event that most tarnished Ford's presidency was his decision to pardon Nixon. He also, however, presided over the worst US economy since the Great Depression.

What are some benefits of the oil industry
Gemiola [76]

Answer: Investments in oil and gas exploration and production generate substantial economic gains, as well as other benefits such as increased energy independence. While changing market conditions will lead to cycles in the industry, the oil and gas industry will be a driver of substantial economic activity for many years to come. In short terms everything runs on oil like money. So the more oil you have the more money u most likely will make.

In general, the most powerful place for a woman to be in medieval society was the wife of a powerful man, preferably a king or noble person, since women themselves rarely held positions of power.

Women refusing to conform to gender norms.
lina2011 [118]
The Roaring Twenties

The Roaring Twenties was a time when young women fought against the traditional gender norms. These women (commonly referred to as flappers) would wear short dresses, smoke in public, drink alcohol, and dance in jazz clubs. These acts were all frowned upon for women to do at the time. While in the twenties these women were often viewed as immoral and dangerous, we have since come to recognize them as pioneers of women’s independence, as they pushed back against gender norms.
