5 0

Based on the tapes from the oval office, Richard Nixon felt that because he was president that he was above the law. This meant that the normal laws of the Untied States did not necessarily apply to him.

However, this was not the reality of the situation. In the Supreme Court case Nixon vs. United States, the Supreme Court ruled overwhelmingly that Nixon was not above the law and had to hand over the tapes to the court. This ultimately resulted in the resignation of Nixon.

Think about the election of 1796, the first to involve political parties. Make a connection between that presidential election a

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the 1796 election no distinction was made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. This was corrected in the 12th Amendment in 1804. Another diference was the fact that neither Adams (Federalist) nor Jefferson (Democratic-Republic) actively campaigned for the presidency.

What makes this election rather ¨modern¨ is the fact that Federalists accused the Democratic-Republicans of French Revolution violence, who in turn accused the Federalists of favoring monarchism and aristrocracy.
