Some of the important social issues of the time were Fighting for Women's Rights and The Watergate Scandal. Throughout time women wanted to have the same amount of rights that any man has. But though history women were discriminated because they  "couldn't" do the things a man can do. So during the 1970's many Americans were fighting for the expansion of social and political rights.

He then started to become wary to anyone that apposed his authority.

After what had happened Nixon was found to be involved with the burglary and was about to be impeached Nixon declared that he will be resigning from being president.

Nixon was involved in domestic affairs. Nixon had a recommendation of a policy of New Federalism. Although when Nixn brought this up to Congress they did not agree with his recommendation. So then he adopted a policy to satisfy them called "Gradualism." In the website that discusses President Nixon's Domestic Affairs it states, "Nixon adopted a policy of monetary restraint to cool what his advisers saw as an overheating economy. "Gradualism," as it was called, placed its hopes in restricting the growth of the money supply to rein in the economic boom that occurred during Lyndon Johnson's last year in office."
