Answer 4

I think that it made the citizens of the USA distrust the government, and saw the government as shady, with war-mongering officials that didn't care how it would affect their own country

Answer 5

Simple. Your just explaing what kind of affect did the Vietnam war & Watergate have on the public's opinion (the people, citizens) of the government.

Answer 6

Both affected public opinion negatively. Watergate showed the government was dishonest, and Vietnam was so unpopular people attacked government buildings. The word 'Watergate' specifically refers to the name of the luxury hotel in Washington D.C. On the 17th of June 1972, five burglars broke into the offices of the Democratic Party's National Committee. Political investigations began in February 1973 when the Senate established a Committee to investigate the scandal. In 1974 The House of Representatives authorised the impeachment proceedings against the then President Richard Nixon. He was forced to resign on August 9th 1974. The Watergate scandal was exposed mainly by the tireless efforts of two intrepid journalists of 'The Washington Post,' Bod Woodward and Carl Bernstein. The single most important lesson learnt from the 'Watergate' scandal was that a free press was necessary to protect democracy. The Freedom of Information Act of 1986 was a direct consequence of the exposure of the Watergate scandal.
