What does this tape reveal about nixon's view of his power as the president?

History
1 answer:
maxonik [38]3 years ago
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.

How did new machinery effect farming in the west?
timofeeve [1]

Technological developments continued to improve farming throughout the 1880’s and 1890’s.  New machinery increased the amount of land ton the Great Plains that could be farmed on, as it made it easier to access water and grow crops.  For example, wind pumps had improved significantly by the 1880’s.  

Technological developments continued to improve farming throughout the 1880’s and 1890’s.  New machinery increased the amount of land ton the Great Plains that could be farmed on, as it made it easier to access water and grow crops.  For example, wind pumps had improved significantly by the 1880’s. Metal wind pumps had been developed that were able to reach water hundreds of metres underground, and they only needed oiling once a year. Other new machinery made ploughing the land and growing crops easier. For example, seed drills were developed which were able to automatically plant seeds at the correct depth.

 

These new machines made faming more efficient and boosted the economy as farmers began to purchase machines. By the 1890’s the Great Plains had become a productive and fertile area of farming. Most homesteaders prospered.

What are some potential benefits and potential costs of total war, and do the potential benefits ever outweigh the costs ?
dimaraw [331]

The concept of "total war" refers to a type of armed conflict that is bound by no rules or limitations in terms of who is being attacked, the weapons that are used or the elements of society that will be sacrificed to win it.

Engaging in this type of war can have some benefits, such as:

  • There is no need for the government to define its objectives clearly.
  • Because of it, there is no accountability between the government and its citizens, which gives them free reign of action.
  • Countries with a strong military can use their full power.

However, the costs far outweigh the benefits:

  • Increased cost of human lives, from all parties involved.
  • The destruction of all civil society.
  • Because civil society is so disrupted, government institutions are likely to collapse as well.
  • Extremely difficult recovery process, both politically as economically.
  • Complete depletion of the country's resources.
  • Violation of human rights and the laws of just war.
  • Closes the door to any peaceful solution.

There is rarely, if ever, a situation in which a total war provides benefits that would outweigh the costs of it, or that would not be achieved through some other means.
