<u>Teapot Dome Scandal reason for occurrence and its significance;</u>

  • The Teapot scandal occurred due to oil drilling bribery and corruption that involved the secretary of the interior in the 1920s.
  • The secretary failed to protect the oil fields as he had promised but instead, he accepted bribes from his oilmen friends to do oil extraction operations.
  • Due to the allegations, the secretary was investigated and later impeached.
  • The president, however, had a sudden death during the investigations.
  • This is considered it as a big scandal because it is corruption and bribery at the highest level of the government.
  • Furthermore, the secretary became the first officer of the cabinet to be sentenced to prison.
