History

Andrej [43]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. Ford believed that pardoning Nixon would help the divided nation begin to heal.

Explanation:

This could been seen in his reference to the justifiying his pardon of Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of Burdick v. United States.

<em>It is a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court decision that suggested that a pardon carries an imputation of guilt and that its acceptance carries a confession of guilt. Since the watergate scandal has so much divided the country, he tried to end the story by pardoning the person upon which the crime revolves around</em>

Why do you think the governments of the United States and other countries encouraged people on the home front to organize progra
Leona [35]
During a time of war, countries like the United States tried to get the most out of the materials within their society. For example, the US faced a metal shortage in the beginning of World War II. Their campaign to collect scrap metal from citizens helped to ensure that they had the necessary materials to create military weapons and ammunition.

Along with scrap collection, citizens also bought war bonds or planted victory gardens. War bonds helped the federal government to raise money for the war effort and victory gardens helped to supply additional food for soldiers.

Rodriguez says he was reinvented by President Richard Nixon. How do you know this is an exaggeration and therefore irony?
melomori [17]

Answer:

<u>because Nixon was not referring to him directly but to the entire Hispanic community.</u>

Explanation:

Note what the original excerpt says,

<em>"Because of colonial Mexico, I am mestizo. But I was reinvented by  President Richard Nixon. In the early 1970s, </em><em>Nixon instructed the Office of  Management and Budget to identify the major racial and ethnic groups in the United States. OMB came up with five major ethnic or racial groups. </em><em> The groups are white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Eskimo, and Hispanic."</em>

We can see from his statement that the Office of Management was tasked by President Richard Nixon with identifying several groups..., not Rodriguez directly, but the Hispanic community was among those included. Because of the fact that his ethnic group was included, Rodriguez exaggerated the actual direction from Nixon.

What was the purpose if the mayflower compact
mr_godi [17]

The rest of the Mayflower Compact is very short. It simply bound the signers into a "Civil Body Politic" for the purpose of passing "just and equal Laws . . . for the general good of the Colony." But those few words expressed the idea of self-government for the first time in the New World.
