Readings: Boyer, Paul S. et al. The Enduring Vision: A History of the American People
|
Discussion Questions:1. Some historians claim that the outcome of Watergate proved the constitutional system worked. Others believe that it further eroded trust in government and the ability of presidents to lead effectively. What is your interpretation of the outcome of Watergate and its impact on the United States? 2. What is meant by the term “Reagan Revolution”? What accounts for the appeal of Ronald Reagan and his policies to the American electorate in the 1980s? 3. “The Iran-Contra Affair represented a far greater danger to our Constitution than Watergate”. Do you agree or disagree with this conclusion of a college paper written by Mr. Maher in 1988? |
