Answer 2

Answer 1

A) Ford pardoned Nixon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States presidential election of 1976 resulted in the withdrawal of President Richard Nixon in the track of the Watergate disgrace. It pitted compelling President Gerald Ford, the Republican nominee, against the comparatively anonymous former governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter, the Democratic competitor.

Answer 2

B) His Catholic religion

Step-by-step explanation:

John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States in a hostile competition against the compelling Vice President, Richard Nixon. It was one of the tightest elections in American history, and some people still suspect its result. Kennedy was elected three times to the House and two times to the U.S. Senate before becoming president in 1961, and he had more state political background than our two most current presidents.

Answer 3

C) They feared that chaos would engulf Iraq in the absence of a strong leader.

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S. and its associates started the intrusion of Iraq. On April 9, U.S. forces formally controlled Baghdad, and on December 13 the same year, Saddam Hussein, the recent Iraqi dictator was arrested while hiding in a basement in the outskirts of Tikrit. Saddam's destruction started on March 20, 2003, when the United States began an incursion force into Iraq to overthrow his government, which had commanded the country for more than 20 years.
