Watergate Webquest Questions With
Solutions 100% Correct

What was "the Saturday Night Massacre "of Oct. 20, 1973? When Nixon fired Special

Prosecutor Archibald Cox and accepted the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson

and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus.




On what grounds did Nixon try to argue that he should not have to turn over tapes of recorded

White House conversations? Look at Facts of the Case. Nixon asserted that he was

immune from the subpoena claiming "executive privilege," which is the right to withhold

information from other govt. branches to preserve confidential communications within the

executive branch or to secure the national interest.




How did the Supreme Court rule in this case? The Court ruled against his "presidential

privilege," and gave preference to "the fundamental demands of due process of law in the fair

administration of justice." Nixon resigned shortly after the release of the tapes.




How does this tape directly implicate the President in a cover-up of the Watergate break-in?

(look at the section "The Final Days") The tapes recorded the conversation between Nixon

and his aide H.R. Haldeman, revealing the president's involvement in the scandal and cover-up.
