The Watergate scandal served the US presidency by displaying that the executive branch of the US government was subject to review and accountability. It provided evidence that no one was above the law and that illegal conduct had consequences.
He put his Whip Inflation Now "WIN" plan into action.
Because Nixon hired people to break into the files of top democrats and steal information about what they were doing and planning. He thought that he could usurp the law and do whatever he wanted just because he was the president. Frost/Nixonis actually a very good portrayal of the events.

The Watergate scandal was a political scandal in the United States in the 1970s, resulting from the break in into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. Effects of the scandal ultimately led to the resignation of the United States President Richard Nixon on August 9, 1974. In June of 1972 in Washington, D.C. an event occurred, a burglary, which ended up holding worldwide importance. It was on this date that five people broke into the Democratic National Headquarters to bug their telephones. These men were members of the 'Plumbers', a group of anti-Castro Cuban refugees, former FBI agents and former CIA agents among others. The group was strongly Republican. The place they broke into was The Watergate Hotel. Many people remember the name Watergate as a blanket term used to describe the fall of President Richard Nixon.
No. The Watergate Scandal is typically what we remember about Nixon, and this was undoubtedly a terrible act. However, Nixon had a number of important accomplishments during his presidency that deserve some credit, such as... going on a diplomatic mission to China, something that his predecessors would not do, started diplomacy with the Soviet Union, relieving some Cold War tensions, ended the Vietnam War, ended peacetime draft, set up Council on Environmental Quality, and the list goes on. Nixon certainly had his failures, too. However, if not for the Watergate Scandal, he might be regarded as a very good or even great president. Some President that are commonly thought of as the worst in U.S. history, and by extension worse than Nixon, are: Millard Fillmore Franklin Pierce James Buchanan Andrew Johnson Ulysses S. Grant Warren Harding
Very good.
James Monroe's presidency had the nickname "the era of good feelings". Hoped that helped!
