The Cover-up
1. Regardless of the outcome, should the President of the United States have a right to privacy in regards to the Oval Office tapes? Explain.
I believe that, yes, he should have the right to privacy with regards to the White House tapes. As president of one of the most powerful nations on earth I believe that he has certain rights that other ordinary citizens do not. It sounds wrong when said so bluntly but I think it makes sense. The president has to deal with so many things, things that ordinary citizens can't even begin to understand. It is the president's responsibility to deal with these things and act in the best interest of the country. There may be information on those tapes that wasn't meant to be heard by the public. Things that if heard by the public could have serious repercussions This I believe was partially true in the case of NIxon's downfall. Although most of the damage was done before the tapes were even released to the public.
2. Was President Nixon justified when he fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox? Explain.
I believe that when Nixon said "When the president does it that means that it is not elligal" he was being extreme but I agree with him to some extant that the president can take iligal action as long as it is in the best interest of the nation. However in this case, the issue of whether or not NIxon was justifide in firering Cox, the question is what was in the best interest of the country? Some might say that Nixon was justified because in his attempt to hide the truth about Watergate he was protecting the nation from all the mistrust it's citizens still feel today towards its government. By attempting to prove himself inoscent of the crime he was trying to save the county a huge scandal that would be far worse than the actual crime that had been comitted in the first place.
On the other hand maybe it was better that the truth about Watergate came out. And the fact that Nixon had attempted to cover his actions become known to the public.
3. Was Nixon creating a Constitutional crisis by refusing to hand-over the tapes? Explain.
Yes of course he was. Nixon was the first president who truly tested the strength of the constitution. He was the first president who ever came close to an impeachment.
The american constitution created three branches of government, executive, legislative and judisiary. Each was designed to have powers that the others didn't have and each of them are interdependent. Ever since the case of Marbury vs. Madison it has been the judicial branches responsibility to decide whether the president's actions (or any one else's) are constitutional. In the case of Nixon, he was obstructing this balance between the branches of government by refusing to hand over the tapes.
He had also gained an extreme amount of power as leader of the executive branch.
Closure
4. Why do you think the American public was so outraged by Watergate?
The Watergate scandal created a huge amount of doubt amongst americans regarding the ligality of their governments actions. What if the government had gotten away with the crime and they hadn't been caught. What else has the government done that wasn't legal.
5. Do you think President Nixon should have resigned? Explain.
Yes I definatly think that Nixon should have resigned. If Nixon had not resigned he would have been impeached; it was only a matter of time. And he saved the country from having to say that we had such a bad president that we had to forcably remove him from office. Not much better that resigning but still.
6. Do you think President Nixon should have been prosecuted? Explain.
NO! What would have been the point. He was out of office and had lost his reputation. It also would have been a huge embaressment if Nixon had ended up in jail.

Why did the USA lose the Vietnam War?
The Americans did not lose purely for military reasons. There were other factors as well.
Write an explanation AND cite a source which shows the importance of the following six factors:
1. US military tactics in Vietnam
Conventional methods. Well maybe not entirely conventional but the US army went into Viet Nam with the intention of fighting battles in a somewhat organized fashion. However as time went on US generals soon learned that this was not a possibility due to the Viet Cong's method of Guerilla warfare.
Source 37
2. The unpopularity of the South Vietnamese regime
During eisenhower's years as president the US government had showed support for the ruler of south Viet Nam, Diem. Diem may have supported democracy but he was a corrupt ruler and was not popular with the people of south Viet Nam, particularly buddhists.
Source 33
3. The experience of the Viet Cong and the inexperience of the American soldiers
many of the american soldiers had been drafted and were at a young age whereas the Viet Cong soldiers were used to fighting in the jungle and using geurila warfare. They were also fighting for their independence or that how they felt so they were much more motivated.
Source 53
4. Domestic opposition to the war in the U.S.
The war was greatly opposed within the US especially by colege students who either didn't believe in the principle of the war or they did not wish to be drafted.
Souurce 42 images like this were broadcast on american television and caused many americans to question the US's tactics in fighting the war
5. Chinese and Soviet support for the Viet Cong
Both China and the Soviet Union supported the Viet Cong the USSR sent many suplies to China which were then transported via the Ho Chi Minh trail into North and then south Viet Nam.
Source 31
6. 'But did they really lose?' Summarize the argument put forward in Source 57, and your view on it.
Nixon would like us to believe that we achieved peace with honor but unfortunately while we may have atained peace at the end of the war we did not have honor for what we had done in Viet Nam. We had not fought bravely but from a distance. Niether side had won. For while the US left Viet Nam the Viet Cong had distroyed their country and it would take decades to rebuild all that they had lost. America had not achieved its goal in containing communism.
Add other if you think there are factors you should consider.

Why was the Tet offensive a major turning point?
Tet New Year 1968
The Tet offensive was a statigic atack on many South Viet Nam cities including Saigon (the capital). The Viet Cong's original goals were not atcheived however it was a major turning point in the war as far as US civilian suppor of the war. The offensive caused many americans to doubt the power of the US army in Viet Nam. The US greatly out numbered the Viet Cong soldiers yet some how it had taken huge amounts of resources and men in order to regain the land that the US had lost in the offensive.
Do sources 51 and 52 agree or disagree about the My Lai Massacre?
For the most part sources 51 and 52 agree. They both say that the men who went to fight in Viet Nam (US soldiers) didn't think of their fights with the Viet Cong as killing inocent civilians or even as people. The soldiers saw them as a single ideology (communism) and that was what they were fighting against, not people or a country but an ideology.
Why do you think it took 12 months for any one to do anything about the massacre?
Because high ranking officials who had organized and fought in the massacre said that that only 20 civilians had been shot dead accidentally. And also because many of the US soldiers were so used to killing civilians that they saw it as just a part of war, something that couldn't be helped. Some soldiers probaby saw it as a good thing because they didn't see Vietnamese people as equals but inferiors or as commies or both.

Step 3: in each row of column 3, draw some scales to show which way the balance falls for this quality. Did the USA or the Viet Cong have the advantage?
1. Now think about the overall picture - how the strengths and weaknesses work together.
a) Were the armies finely balanced or was the balance strongly weighted to one side or the other?
The US had a huge advantage in certain areas, for instance in shear numbers the Viet Cong were way out numbered, or in technology or amount of supplies. In all of these things the US had, with out a doubt the advantage. But in such things as knowing the land on which they fought or having a battle tactic that was unusual and hard to counter attack, the Viet Cong had the advantage.
b) Which quality was most important in determining who won the war? Was one feature so important that being ahead in that area meant that other advantages or disadvantages did not matter?
I think that one major quality that determined the success or failure of either side was the will of the soldiers to fight and to kill. Both sides were very determined but the US soldiers lacked the experience of both the terrain of Vietnam and of fighting in a war, many of the US soldiers were young drafted man who had just left high school and were very inexperienced and less willing to kill. This wasn't necessarily a feature that either side was willing to improve by giving up other resources but it was a huge factor in determining who won or lost.
Stage 3: Explaining your conclusions
The failure of the U.S. army to beat the Communist in Vietnam was the result of its own weaknesses and Viet Cong strengths.
2. Now write up your answer. Use this structure:
a. The U.S. weaknesses were:
Soldiers were not used to fighting against an enemy who used guerilla warfare.
Soldiers were not used to fighting in the jungle and did not know the land well at all.
The Viet Cong were able to lower the morale of the US troops due to constant fear of a surprise attack
b. At the same time, the Communist strengths were:
The Viet Cong soldiers were extremly strong willed and were used to fighting and killing (even inoccent civilians)
The Viet Cong did not use traditional tactics in battle, instead they used a lawless method that slowly broke down the US abilities on the ground. They would attack when soldiers were sleeping or tired.
The Viet Cong also had a lot of support from the Vietnamese.
c. The U.S. forces did have some successes. For example:
d. However, there were some major failures as well. Examples of these were:
e. The Viet Cong had some major successes, such as:
f. However, they also suffered defeats, for example:
g. If I had to identify one major American weakness, it would be [Insert weakness here] because:
h. The key Viet Cong strength was [Insert strength here] because:

This lead to an increase in communist support.
