Watergate-Nixon paper. I need NICO's help!

[naladude911]

I took history through film this semester and now I have to write a 4-6 page paper on whether or not you feel that there was enough evidence for Nixon to be impeached due to the watergate scandal. This paper is due Tuesday and I am having trouble coming up with ideas to get this started. I have to use 5 sources (no wakopedia or encyclopedias), and links from this website (scroll down): http://www.historyteacher.net/...s.htmCan someone please help me with ideas?

Impeach or convict? Two totally different things.

There certainly was enough evidence, thats why he resigned and was pardoned.

help me on this. I dont know much about watergate, can someone help give me simple facts. Im using wakopedia but its kind of old muddled up.

Nala, there really isn't anything I can tell you that you dont have to search for on the internet anyway. My suggestion, go to your local library, check out a book or two on the subject, use those and a website or two. In the end, you have to do the research, as your teacher is asking for a bibliography.

The answer to your assignments main question is "yes", hench the pardoning from his successor. Now dig the facts up.

[naladude911]

right, we watched frost-nixon. Im going to the library now.

Weird topic, since the evidence for an impeachment doesnt need to be enough to convict.

[Urabus GodofTraction]

History through film?

What sort of weird f***in' waste of a class is that? I mean, it would be different if it was college...

[raremotive]

Anyone say Watchmen?

whether or not YOU feel that there was enough evidence for Nixon to be impeached due to the watergate scandal.

First off.

Second off:

I have to use 5 sources (no wikipedia or encyclopedias), and links from this website

Im using wikipedia but its kind of old muddled up.

Seriously, go find 5 sources... read through them... give you opinion. What the f*** are you doing wasting time reading wikipedia for if your not even allowed to use it as a source? And you even say its not a good source! You need more help then we can give if your only idea is to read through a poorly written source that you aren't allowed to use anyways.

This is the easiest paper in the world because all you have to do is give YOUR OPINION. Get a book, read about the evidence against him... then write what you think. No one knows what you think better then you do.

[themadscientist]

Nixon didn't exist. it was a hoax. Try that angle.

[naladude911]

lol. I have 3.5 pages done so far out of the minimum of 4. Im going to write 4.5 so I can express my opinion. Right now I have summarized watergate, and have used 4 sources.

So... you have written 3.5 pages of off topic information?

The assignment isn't to tell about water gate, its to talk about the credibility of evidence. That is someone asking you to talk about Obama's policies, and you explaining how a president is elected.

^This.

And yes, it is that simple. Don't make this assignment harder than what it is. Make a list of all the things he was accused of. State whether or not you think said evidence was detrimental and why you think so. Cite the source. Move on to the next one.

Good luck.

You're missing it.

At his school he gets an A for making a "Battle of the bass" video in English class...

There is more than enough information out there about this topic, you shouldn't have that hard of a time piecing it all together and formulating an opinion. This is probably one of the biggest controversies of the 20th century. It's in the same league as Jimmy Hoffa, Vietnam and the Clinton/Lewinski Scandal. Take the assignment, do research, interpret it to explain how you view it, and for added padding use lots of big words (that are on topic) to take up space.

But really this assignment isn't that hard, learn a little Legalize, read up on the topic in some law books and formulate opinion.

History Through Film class... really? History isn't so boring that that you need to teach it through cinematography.

[car nut]

Yeah dude honestly, google some s*** and formulate an opinion. Not really that hard IMO.

Most of us weren't even alive then anyways (or old enough to remember). Theres nothing most of us can give you that you can't find on your own.

And kudos for still doing work! I haven't done s*** since I got into college.

God, I hated my classmates in public speaking. The teacher never said we couldn't use wiki. So come time to list two sources one was always wiki. I was the only person who made a visual aid, a Theremin. Everyone else had a black and white picture they threw on the projector.

Those kids failed so hard in my book and I am sure in class too.

The teacher was a elitist b**** that would not negotiate anything.

Nala, read more.

I going to take an uneducated guess and speculate the whole fiasco to be a distraction from Nixon taking paper currency off the "gold standard"
