| | Nixon's Views on Presidential Power, United States v. Nixon (1974), Landmark Supreme Court Cases |
 | | President Nixon states that there are other ways of containing a president's power besides the rule of law. | | | Does President Nixon's statement that "when the president does it [something illegal], that means that it is not illegal" support the idea that the United States has the rule of law, not men? | | | The wave of dissent, occasionally violent, which followed in the wake of the Cambodian incursion, prompted President Nixon to demand better intelligence about the people who were opposing him. |

| | Nixon remains the only modern president whose personality, rhetoric, and image can be used with impunity to dismiss or ignore his concrete achievements, especially in the area of expanding civil rights enforcement in particular, and domestic reform in general. | | | Another problem both Nixon's legislative and administrative attempts at domestic reform encountered was the fact that initially his advisers could not agree on how to present a package program to the public and Congress. | | | These figures confirm that the Nixon administration put money into civil rights enforcement although its mouth was not always on the cutting edge of this controversial issue. |
