The answer is <u>he pardoned the former American President Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed in office.</u>
In 1972, President Richard Nixon was accused of being involved in the Water Scandal and was in trouble with American justice. Two years later, he decided to resign and Gerald Ford automatically assumed the presidency. Ford immediately used his power to issue the <em>Proclamation 4311</em> and pardon Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while President. He justified his decision before Congress alleging that the pardon was in the best interests of the country because a drawn-out trial would only polarize the public even more.
This decision of him was highly controversial and harshly criticized by many Americans that wanted to see Nixon brought to justice.

In the early 20th cent., the court appeared to be highly conservative in its views. It showed in general a rigid adherence to stare decisis
(the rule that precedents are to be followed), a tendency to prevent
the states from adopting laws that restricted business in its employment
practices and other activities, and little disposition to restrain the
states from restricting civil liberties, as in the Plessy v. Ferguson
case (1896), which upheld the right of states to enforce
segregationist Jim Crow legislation in many Southern states. In the
Insular Cases (1901), arising out of questions concerning the status of
peoples in the territories acquired as a result of the Spanish American
War, the court asserted that the civil rights guaranteed by the
Constitution did not automatically apply to the people of an annexed
territory, i.e., the Constitution did not follow the flag.
