i am in 7th grade and this is what i learned
There are three reasons why Watergate is important in American History. First, we must always keep an eye on our elected officials. Second, the loss of freedom is only a vote away. Third, never do anything that can leave a paper trail, or vocal record.
When we elect officials, we put our trust in them. But we should not give them blind trust, or absolute power over our future. As a dedicated citizen, it is our duty to assure that our officials are doing their job correctly and not abusing the power bestowed upon them .
Also, as dedicated citizens it is our duty to go out and vote. Many a man shed tears and blood for this right. From before our country was born to present day. If one does not fo out and vote, one deserves to live in a country that is not free.
Lastly, one should never leave a paper trail when they do decide to do wrong. Had Nixon never had tapes in his office, he would have never gotten caught.
