History

The Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship to people who were born in the United States. This was a huge deal, as it included former slaves.

The Fourteenth Amendment was part of the Civil War Amendments, which were composed of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. These were all created to protect the rights of former slaves and try to include them as part of the United States.

With the Fourteenth Amendment, former slaves were now counted as actual citizens of the United States. This role made it so they had "<em>equal protection of the laws</em>." This meant they also had the right to "<em>due process</em>" and obtain all of the rights listed in the United States Constitution

Well, I dont think that any one person has a correct response for your question. The Bible is written so that you yourself search through and obtain your own personal messages from those stories. Everyone has different interpretations for each Bible story. What do you feel of the Tower of Babel? What do you think it represents?

The list of Nixon illegal administration activities uncovered in the Watergate scandal included all of the following except
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

<h2>b. paying Supreme Court justices to write favorable opinions.</h2>

Explanation:

"Watergate" refers to efforts by persons working for President Nixon's reelection campaign to spy on their opponents at Democratic party headquarters, and subsequent efforts to cover up those crimes.

The first break-in attempt by burglars working on Nixon's behalf occurred  in May, 1972, as persons connected to the Nixon reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

An insider at the FBI who remained anonymous at the time, known only as "Deep Throat," began to give information concerning Watergate to reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the <em>Washington Post.</em>   Persistent investigative reporting by Woodward and Bernstein brought the scandal to light and forced Congressional hearings.   (Note:  Years later it was revealed that Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who at the time was Associate Director of the FBI.)

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.
