Question

Identify three of the challenges that the United States faced during the Ford in carter administration of the 1970s.

1. Energy crisis (gasoline shortage)

2. Failed public education system

3. Stagflation and economic crisis

4. Distrust of public officials and institutions

Answer 1

energy crisis, stagflation, and distrust of public officials

Step-by-step explanation:

the energy crisis had been going on since 1973, when opec, upset at the us’ support of Israel, set big tariffs on oil, and this would persist for many years

The stagflation had been going on since nixon’s tenure, and persisted during the ford and carter years; the prices of many commodities, including oil, grew unaffordable, and there was little economic growth

Since the watergate scandal, many people found themselves not as trusting toward the public officials
