The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Watergate scandal can be considered a sign of weakness in the American democracy & government in that it was hidden by the government officials that tried everything to maintain the issue as a secret until the Washington Post revealed the scandal. Journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward revealed that President Nixon had a role in the conspiracy and knew about the trespassing of thieves into the Democratic National Committee on June 17, 1972.

After this revelation, millions of Americans felt disillusioned with American politics and the way their officials tried to lie or manipulate the information. This scandal represented a hard hit to American politics.

Answer:

The Watergate scandal can be considered to be a sign of strength in American democracy and government to a greater extent. This is because, it was able to unify the people aand their leaders by showing that, despite the shortcomings in democracy being practiced then, it was still able to rally the people together.

The new president elected tried all his best to heal the wounds the scandal caused by pardoning the previous president as well as tried his best to make open some of the policies and actions of the American government.

What ways were Western nations hypocritical in<br><br> their treatment of their colonies?
pochemuha

Answer:

The age of exploration fostered the ideology and policies practiced by Western European countries of extending their rules over foreign nations using violence and military intervention to gain political and economic control over the foreign nations' resources which became normal worldwide.

Western empires have usually pretended to advocate for democracy, freedom and/or equality but cynically contradicting themselves by depriving their colonized peoples from those, overthrowing their governments and setting up instead <em>puppet leaders</em> easily manipuated by the empire.

They basically pronounce rules for others but they do not have the intend to follow themselves .

What was a major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles?
tamaranim1 [39]

The major reason for the U.S. Senate's failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles is they objected to the League of Nations, fearing that it would supersede U.S. authority.

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>"Treaty of Versailles" </u>was signed on 28th June 1919 between Germany and Allied powers to end the war. Treaty of Versailles is the most important agreement that brought World War 1 to end.

Treaty of Versailles failed, as the Allies disagreed to better treat Germany and on the other hand Germany refused to accept the terms of reparations.

U.S. Senate thought that League of Nations would supersede U.S. authority. This led to failure in ratifying Treaty of Versailles.
