Answer 1

The two amendments that Nixon would have violated were The 4th Amendment of search and seizure and the 5th Amendment of due process.

What do the amendments say?

• The Fourth Amendment argues that protects people from their property being searched and taken unless the courts allow it.
• The Fifth Amendment calls for people to answer for crimes without going to a grand jury if it relates to pubic danger.

The Supreme Court had ordered that Nixon release the tapes which is in line with the 4th Amendment. The tapes related to public safety as alleged so the 5th Amendment was relevant as well.

In conclusion, options C and D are correct.
