Nixon and Watergate — Quiz

Question 24 • United States History and Geography

Which names two pieces of domestic legislation passed during the Nixon administration?

Answer
A
the SALT I agreement and the Watergate Act
B
the Endangered Species Act and the CREEP Act
C
the Water Quality Act and the SALT I agreement
D
the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act

Explanation

The Clean Air Act amendments were passed in 1970, and the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973, both during Richard Nixon’s presidency. SALT I was an international arms-control agreement, not domestic legislation, and CREEP was a political campaign organization rather than an act of Congress. Therefore, the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act are the two domestic laws named in choice B.
